A charanga is a popular musical group that accompanies processions (pasacalles) in local fiestas: Usually made up of percussionists, and brass and wind instruments! Have no idea why this particular group was playing in the park!

This is a real photo postcard addressed on the other side to Miss Lydia Anderson, 1500 N. Sacramento Ave., Chicago, Ill., and postmarked in Belleville, Wis., on September 24, 1907. The handwritten message on the verso simply says, "Greeting from your Mother."
Four different photos of the band, including the one on this photo postcard, appear in Gavin Holman, Women and Brass: The Female Brass Bands of the 19th and 20th Centuries (PDF, 2018, updated 2020), pp. 125-26.
I haven’t uncovered any clues about the origin of the band’s “Utopian” name.
- Some street musicians play for different reasons such as for charity. Here is a trumpet musician playing to attract donations for the Salvation Army. They are known for their brass bands.

Once a year, the municipal music and culture school (BAMUK) holds a festival to which the whole town is invited. The school's dance team and bands perform, you can try an instrument and there is free slush-ice.

The Benalla Camera Club June outing was a portrait shoot with the Benalla Rose City Band. The Beautiful Benalla Botanical Gardens provided the backdrop for this great event. Over recent years the Benalla Camera Club has worked with a number of community groups to provide photos for websites and publicity as well as to give members experience at working with the community.

The image above is a statue of shofars being played in front of a Cincinnati Jewish temple.
Horns signaled significant events, such as when God spoke with Moses. It is written in the Book of Shemot 19:9 of the Torah (Exodus 19:9, Old Testament, Bible), "The sound of the shofar grew increasingly stronger; Moses would speak and God would answer him with a voice.”
I grew up in my church erroneously thinking God was only fond of pianos and organs, although He might tolerate a harp performance on special Sunday service occasions.
My tastes went down a different path. I had a love of the sound of horn instruments. I played the trombone in middle through high school and excelled at it not just in my school but also at the state level in a very populous state. Woodwinds, strings, and percussion sounds were all nice but to me, brass had something more satisfying. Horns had pizzazz.
According to scripture, God also has an affinity for horn instruments. When Moses met God, it was a horn in the sublime background that grew louder the closer he approached God. In the Torah, God says: "You shall proclaim [with] the shofar blasts, in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement, you shall sound the shofar throughout your land." [Book of Vayikra 25:29, Tanakh (Leviticus 25:29 in the Old Testament)]
Now, there are probably some who say that blowing a horn was not a musical event. It was like the piercing blast of a modern canned air horn, which is a tool used in loud crowds to cut above the noise and grab attention. To me, that does not fit the narrative. I doubt if Moses would be able to hear God in the quiet of Sinai if there had been a piercing blast of an air horn right before. As for notes from the horn not being music, well, music is in the ear of the beholder.
Notice how God did not say, take out your biggest drums and beat them so loud that your bones shake to sound off for the Day of Atonement. Loud drum beats certainly grab one’s attention. Or, take out your lyres and pluck a fanciful tune on days of celebration. That would get people to listen. Listeners might even hum the tune in memory of the occasion.
No! He called for horns. Besides blowing the horns of rams, He also commanded that there be metal trumpets (hazozrah) to be blown on other special occasions. Castinets and tambourines from worshippers may sound off their zeal for God, such as when the sister of Aaron did so, but God, well, the God of the Hebrew Bible especially likes and calls for horns. 😉
I gotta say, I relate.
PS (Photo Shoots) will be my new series of photos! These photos are for more of a commercial purpose, which is why they look much different than what I have posted on my flickr in the past.
Deets about this particular photo/shoot:
Model: My dear friend, Amanda.
The Job: I was hired to take individual shots of each of the members in my university's UCB (university concert band). There are about 40-50 people in the band, so it was great having so many people to take pictures of! This one is one of my favorites, especially because I think my friend, Amanda, is really pretty :) And she's also the most BA person I know!

A player in one of the 46 bands taking part in the annual dancing procession of Echternach, Luxemburg. The annual procession honours Willibrord, the patron saint of Luxembourg, who established the Abbey of Echternach.
While the musicians play the "Sprangprozessioùn" tune - a traditional melody- the pilgrims, in rows of four or five abreast and holding the ends of white handkerchiefs, "dance" or "jump" from left to right and thus slowly move forward.
I was fortunate to be allowed to take photographs at Langley Band's rehearsal for their forthcoming concert at the Barlow Theatre in Langley (UK).
