Box Office Question of the Day

[I have just taken a ticket order over the phone for the "St. Matthew Passion" later this summer... I am trying to wrap up the conversation by telling the caller where he can pick up his tickets, when I am interrupted]

Caller: Wait... are you going to have a choir?

Me: ....Yes, it will be the festival chorus, like all the other weeks.

[pause]

Me: So the box office will open on Saturday night at---

Caller: So is there going to be an orchestra too?

Me: ....Yes.

[Caller finally lets me finish talking so I can hang up. What did he think we were doing, like having a tuba play the melody along with a CD recording????]
