I had the luck that I could join the band to the Musikparade in Germany. The first drive towards the shows was pleasant, lots of chatter and activity from everyone.

Had a nice night break at a hotel to continue our journey the next day.

The moment, day one of three. I did not know what to expect and just let it happen. I like to stay bussy and it was a lot of waiting.

It is a different experience as a member of a band compared to a visiter to one of these shows.

The second day of shows I really enjoyed myself. I found things to keep myself bussy with, like reading a book to fill all the time spent waiting.

This will be my advice to every ono comming along to their first multiple show weekend. Bring something to do, bring a book or something else to keep yourself bussy.

 

Overal I enjoyed myself and had a good time, plus an expierence added to my experiencces. My nerves did not bother me, I am already used that people look at the group that I am a part of.

I think that my nerves will be noticeble when I am allowed to lead the band for the first time as Drum-Major.

The atmosfere was open and pleasant, I really felt that everyone was part of the band. You could talk with everyone about a lot of stuff.

But what I noticed the most, is the passion everyone brought allong for what they do. Everyone helped eachother when needed.
