Seems to me that a), e) and g) are all pretty much the same. Obviously the other definitions are a lot of nonsense. I guess I'll be a good sheep and follow the flock so, for no other reason than that I'm easily led, I'll pick the middle one of those and go for e).

B definitely. If it's not correct, it should be. We need such a term for such displays.

I missed it, too, but, since I was under extenuating circumstances and like to dance, I'll go for A. Thanks for taking this one over, Bingley.

You left out the real definition, which is "the song of the Community Open Space Partnership."
That choice not being available, however, I'll have to cast a vote for the lettuce patch (F). Costumed Players in whichever form, or players' costumes, or whatever, may be the right answer but it's too trite. No self-respecting puzzler would propose it seriously. Us Folks, of course, is another kettle of fish entirely :-)
