If You Lost Half and Orchestra, What Remaining Half Would Produce the Worst Possible Sound?

Mass Daylight Savings errors. An atrocious traffic jam. Rampant occurrences of the bus scene from Whiplash.

In order to assist music directors around the world, the Modern Mucker sets off to determine the absolute worst-case scenario for a semi-orchestra so that they can plan to avoid this situation at all costs.
