Traveling Light? Not So Much!

Most of the musicians for the Festival Orchestra and Festival Chorus arrived by ferry, where they were met by Board members and hosts to be taken to their housing and then on to the musicians dinner. It was fascinating to watch the various musical gear arriving with each of them. It's all I can do to photograph the various events and download the photos. I'm guessing most will be processed over the next several weeks. I'm realizing tonight it's impossible to stay on top of it at this point! Thanks for your encouraging comments!

I'm looking forward to seeing all your photos. This one tells a story--and it brought back some memories of transporting my son and his bass in my little Mazda.

[haskar]

It must be exciting to travel with a double bass!

[Junko Y]

I like how you are getting all the different aspects of the story! This reminds me of when we traveled with Alyssa's orchestra throughout Europe and we had three big buses and an instrument truck.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I do not envy the upright bass players- carrying around their instrument is like carrying around a full-sized adult! good shot.

[Helen Jane]

good to see the artists arriving. Any harpists? I had a friend who played the harp at school and her father ended up buying a van especially to transport it around.
