B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

wellspeaking as a "self-important, dressed-up twat" It isn't really that much to do with keeping people in time although making people start and stop in the right place is part of it. It is more about interpretation, someone has to decide how the piece is going to be performed, in a small group you can decide amongst yourselves but when you have lots of musicians you need to have one person to pick tempos mood etc and the gurning is just trying to epress that to people without speaking, yes you could do that in rehearsal but it would take a very long time to go through every single bit of a piece and usually rehearsal time is very short.
Sorry for the serious answer.

No needAfter a spirited defence by tangledupinblue I've decided that conductors are remarkable, talented and deeply valuable people and the trebuchet has been re-aimed towards a large container filled with naked women, kittens and marshmallows that I've specially commissioned.
