I doubt the individuals talked to each other, just listened to the calls of the stage-manager.

Still a danged impressive piece of performance- getting everybody on and off the field in the time they did, to have everybody perfectly arranged, to move the drums, and the tai chi people? They went from a mass to perfectly straight lines with no adjusting- they knew exactly where the lines were. I still wonder if there were some small marks on the ground or something to help them line up so perfectly.

I don't mind if they had stage calls for "go now"; I'm still impressed. I did have to laugh; some official was asked about the fact that there were 15,000 performers (turns out that number is both performers and crew), and he said 'well, we have the people".
