    Good for the kids, but it must have been baking inside those masks.

    The webpage for their performances is at http://www.zoorasia.org/event/zb.html The performance dates must be a bit old because they don't mention any August performances.

    I saw these guys on TV. A bunch of very talented professional musicians, and really dedicated, too, considering the discomfort they go through to put on these performances!
