lizzy-wilson Report post Posted July 6, 2012 Attached is a video of the band at one of our practices. The song is The Great Escape. It's part of 3 songs but put all together; the first one being Chariots Of Fire then The Great Escape then Soul Limbo (AKA the cricket song to us) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted July 7, 2012 I haven't seen a carnival in at least 5 years, I think the local council decided to lose it's sense of fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzy-wilson Report post Posted July 7, 2012 We've had three or four carnivals this year with the band. Today has been the best one I've done all season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lizzy-wilson Report post Posted July 8, 2012 Luckily we've only had one wet one, if it does rain we can't let the pans or anything get wet as it would ruin them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people who put their location have it listed under their profile pic on the left of their posts - it says Cumbria on Lizzy's Luckily we've only had one wet one, if it does rain we can't let the pans or anything get wet as it would ruin them! Yeah, that could be expensive Did many people come and watch you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzy-wilson Report post Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah, there were loads of people yesterday! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted July 8, 2012 It's a nice atmosphere isn't it? Did it give you a bit of a buzz - sometimes I like it when people are being happy and stuff (very rarely but hey it happens occasionally) lol Where I grew up the local park was a mile away, and every Sunday in the summer, the town band would practice at the bandstand in the park, if it was a calm day or the wind was blowing the right direction, I could hear it quite well, I used to sit in the garden and listen to them play and it was always a pleasant feeling. I find it funny, because on one level I am not a fan of bands, but then on another level I find it fun because it creates an atmosphere, so while I would never listen to those types of music on a cd for example, I do like listening when occasions crop up and there's a band playing (the marching bands are fun to watch too).

lizzy-wilson Report post Posted July 8, 2012 darkshine Carnivals and things similar to that are different, you get different people. We played a gig a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the best gigs I've done. Everyone was up dancing and singing along. It was brilliant!! Last year at a torchlight possession...we won a prize for the 'best marching band' How I don't know...as we were on the back of a lorry!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year at a torchlight possession...we won a prize for the 'best marching band' How I don't know...as we were on the back of a lorry!! Yes all those things have their own vibe according to the situation and the people - the gig sounds brilliant!! I guess it makes me laugh, cuz I really don't like groups of people and certainly not crowds - but there are the odd occasions where the vibe reaches me and I enjoy it. Haha, excellent, a marching band prize for riding on a lorry what the hell eh? They must have loved the music That's why I like music - it can be a personal thing or it can be something to share - you can break through barriers without words because a feeling from music or an event can be shared between people. Even if I find it weird to share it - I do sometimes like sharing it with others, it's nice to know that there's certain levels where I can connect with people in a non-verbal way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted July 8, 2012 i was asking you sir, all i see is not telling. That's because I'm not telling but since I'm not completely evil I will say that I am within a 300 mile radius of Brighton and I don't live in Wales. Oh and I don't live in Cambridge either - I'm from the Midlands originally so Cambridge would be my idea of hell, I'd be like a ruffian entering the world of the refined - I wouldn't mind visiting or passing through (although I never have) and I have nothing against people who are different to me - and there's apparently some beautiful architecture and places to see in Cambridge - but I really wouldn't belong there.
