The sousaphone player of the Pigswana Orchestra gives it the bifters.
Since 1998, Gipsy Pigs - the official marching band of Pigswana, universally known as Pigswana Orchestra - contribute to the welfare of humanity, and even of the galaxy. Children, men, women and old men acclaim them at every show, admiring the generosity and talent of this spirited team. The genius of their musical compositions, their frenzied enthusiasm and distinguished kindness, should lead Pigswana Orchestra to be the first street orchestra soon registered as World Heritage by UNESCO.
GYPSY BRASS
from Romania
FANFARA DIN COZMESTI
Their tempo is breathtakingly fast, their instruments dented and beloved, and their music gets you off your feet: the 13 person Romanian Gypsy brass band from Iasi is the number one address in their homeland for births, weddings and funerals. They are even at hand to help out desperate lovers by serenading sweethearts under their windows.
The brass band at Elim Moravian Church has been continually in action since 1838.
I visited Elim, Western Cape, on a morning when the thermometer was already breaking 30C at 10 a.m. and a large funeral was about to take place.
South Africa dot net says “Elim, with its whitewashed thatched cottages, Moravian church and the oldest working clock in South Africa, is a national treasure.”
Elim is a village on the Agulhas Plain in the Western Cape of South Africa. It was established in August 1824 by German missionaries as a Moravian mission station. When selecting the location, the missionaries placed a high priority on the proximity of water and on terrain that was suitable for planting vines so that wine for communion could be produced. In the Bible, Elim was the place the Israelites rested after crossing the Red Sea. It was a place of cooling waters and palm trees.
Elim’s Moravian church followed in 1835, built in the Cape Dutch style. The village’s brass band is almost as old, in continuous existence since 1838.
As well as preaching the Gospel, the missionaries taught the villagers a variety of trades and skills. Elim's thatchers continue to be renowned for their craftsmanship.
The village is picturesque and has changed little over the years. It is filled with whitewashed cottages, fruit trees and fynbos. All the roads in the village lead to the thatch-roofed church. The community, still mainly Moravian, consists of farmers, farm workers and artisans.
Elim is becoming known for the export of fynbos, and as an emerging area in the production of wine.
92% of the population of 1,412 people belong to the Cape Coloured community; 94% speak Afrikaans as their first language. Elim lies 37 km/23 miles east of Bredasdorp, the district centre, by road, and 48 km/30 miles north-west of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa.

A 3D-printed trumpet part made the instrument work again. Yay! Also, this was shot for the Macro Monday challenge of Black & White, although it would certainly work in the Contraption category as well.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Motorola Moto G Fast smartphone. This was also shot using the 8x time-lapse mode.

The Chedworth Silver Band played the Sunday afternoon concert in Pittville Park.
Parts of the Pittville Pump Room building are reflected in the instrument.

Those who play loud brass or wind instruments will appreciate this photograph. There is simply no way that some of these instruments can be played inside a condominium or apartment--or even a city house without provoking the ire of the neighbors. And it wouldn't just be the ones upstairs or downstairs. Oh no...my trumpet was so loud my wife heard it seven floors down and a block away. Of course, so did everyone else and that is why it is sulking in its case right now. So this guy has come up with a good idea to avoid the drive to a practice room every day.

This was taken in Windsor Great Park. A German brass-band were taking a break from their performance and the this player rested in the shade of a large tree. I thought both the player and the brass instruments made an interesting composition.

When our school band played at the graduation of our pupils, I could not resist taking photos of my colleague's brand new, shiny saxophone. I am like a crow with shiny objects!
