Picture, if you will, the hallowed halls of almost any Yeshivah, almost anywhere in the world, on Rosh Hashanah morning. As the strains of Shiras Chanah conclude, followed by the post-Haftarah brachos, there suddenly is a loud bang on the Bimah and the Gabbai calls out “Kiddush!” Most of those assembled take a break for a quick Kiddush and then return for the day’s main Mitzvah - the Tekiyas Shofar, the Blowing of the Shofar. The reciting of ‘Lamnatzeach’ soon reach a crescendo, not unlike a deafening roar, as the congregation eagerly anticipates and prepares for the Shofar Blowing.

I must admit that I find the subject line of this discussion a bit strange.  I thought one makes kiddush rather than performs kiddush.
