What's the point of having conductors?

Charlie, one of my blog's lurker, invited us to watch him conduct in a concert. Might be interesting, but still...

Me: Wah lao have to go watch so many friends perform this month. Somemore Charlie's one, he's not even performing

Audrey: Yah, have to go and watch his ass. Why do I need to pay 10 dollars to watch his ass when I can see his ass when we go out? (beat) not in that sexual way la.

Me: Aiyah just go there and see him hold his stick lah, and wave it around. It's not everyday...

Audrey: Are you sure it's not everyday that he does that? Holding his stick?

Me: Well.... I don't really want to know...
