New picture for harvest festival orchestra


This is a much better picture in terms of a photograph, but it seems that it was taken at an inappropriate moment when several musicians aren't playing.

The clarinetist strained his leg a few days before the performance which is why he has that huge bandage on his leg.

Left to right:
first row: recorders, oboe, clarinet, oud
second row: alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar
third row: piano, bass
fourth row: drums

I didn't mention this before, but one of the songs was described as 'country rock' which required me to improvise an eight bar guitar solo in the third verse. I tried out a few ideas in the rehearsals so that I had no problems in the final performance.
