Was it the Halle Orchestra in Manchester who once,  performing the  1812, 
saved the expense of  cannon and explosions by giving every  member of the 
audience a paper bag, complete with instructions on how to blow it  up and 
after a 
short rehearsal, trained them to burst the bag at the  appropriate point in the 
concert.
 
And, of course, we all know the Hoffnung version with pop-guns and  bells.
 
All the best,
 
Lawrence
