For some reason, I like amateur brass bands so much. The performance may be far from perfect, the sound is not that polished and the repertoire may lack those virtuoso pieces but one thing is for sure, they do play an important role in bringing community spirit even to the most deprived areas. This is the local brass band playing at the opening of the annual town celebration in Krasnozavodsk, a small town not far from Sergiyev Posad. It wasn’t their best day of course but anyway…
