Picspam: Deutscher Evangelischer Posaunentag

[dieastra]

I have no idea how to translate that so I won't even try. It's a church event, this weekend over 22,000 people who play trombone, trumpet, horn or tuba are in Dresden, and there is music everywhere in the city. I am just back home from all of them playing together at the river Elbe. I've never been so close, and hearing these brass instruments so loud was awesome! They played on both sides of the river and in the end there were fireworks.

That looks fantastic! I cannot imagine playing in such a huge group, but I would so do that! How wonderful!

Oh, what are you playing? I think it's great when people can play an instrument!

I should have probably clarified better - they were not ALL playing at the same time. They were divided in three or four groups, and sometimes this group played, sometimes the other, and sometimes also they did a song where one group started and then the other group continued, so it went back and forth.

There were some famous German songs also and when one group played (you heard it in the distance but not as loud as when the one played right where I was) and we all sang along. It was beautiful.
