I saw it on the news and had to take a look on YouTube. Supposedly it took a team of 20 engineers something like 6 months to plan it out, then a huge number of takes to get everything working correctly. Hence the big cheering crowd at the end.

In the video, they cleverly place stuff from previous attempts in the background, such as:
- Look at what they are wearing -- each take made their white outfits more and more colored.
- Multiple TV's with crashed screens
- A wrecked piano
- Another white board with paint splatter (last shot).

It is very refreshing to see such a video in today's CGI intensive entertainment. That video was much more enjoyable to watch than Avatar and 2012 combined.
