Specific information available for subscribers.
Six mechanical music boxes (one for the narrator, one for a percussionist, and 4 placed within the orchestra) are available from the publisher; the composer indicates that the audience should be encouraged beforehand to bring their own mechanical music boxes (any kind is welcome) for audience participation in the "grand chorus of musical boxes" between Panda Power and Cabbage Dreams.
The audience is also instructed to "hiss" like a snake or "buzz" like a fly on cue.
