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.

So many people! Isn't it a Guinness record or something? :) Also, the city looks beautiful at night.

Hehe, no idea if anyone thought to ask for an official Guiness record counting! Good idea. Maybe next time. I seriously hope they come again. Then I will spend the whole weekend in the city.

I hadn't bothered as I thought they would only play church songs (since it was a church event). I regret that now.

Oh yeah, I am always amazed about how beautiful it is! I'm glad they rebuilt so many of the old buildings after the war. They are still working on the castle, not finished with that one.
