Scales. Even saying the word invites a yawn - until now, when they can be played by feet on a staircase. Stockholm, Milan and Melbourne have piano stairs - and it seems to be a more entertaining way of ascending and descending than by escalator.

Imagine a chromatic; or a melodic minor ascending and descending with different formats. Whole-tone? Pentatonic? Two people in chromatic thirds - staccato. Contrary motion - for two. Wide-stepped arpeggios, back and forth broken chords. Diminished triads if your stride is smaller, but do be careful going down.

Chord sequences, in strict time with four or more people, and no random pedestrians. Cadences - try the interrupted. Or random pedestrians, in aleatoric style. No matter how it's done, that must be the most fun anyone can have with F# minor.
