If you're still looking for stuff to do on this gorgeous weekend, 12-piece marching band Asphalt Orchestra will be performing at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival tonight. They'll be premiering commissions by Yoko Ono and David Byrne with Annie Clark. But these guys will play just about anything. Typical covers include Bjork's "Hyper-Ballad" and stuff by Goran Bregović. Trumpet player Stephanie Richards says remembering choreography and music while bumping into spectators on the street is an "exciting challenge," but she loves the innovative performance. "It's so much more fun to do this than just sitting on a stage." Check out a video of the band below, or head over to Lincoln Center tonight to catch the action in person.
