Yesterday, the Doha Community Wind Band played its first concert of the season at Family Day at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. It was the first time that the band has played in that venue. There is such a festive atmosphere around the festival, and Katara Cultural Village was full of flags, kites, lights, parasailers, and so many children.
Stages were set up all along the Village Corniche and various community groups and schools performed all afternoon and evening. Our little friend, Julie, performed with her Compass School choir. There were Bollywood dancers, and Qatari sword dance troups. Quite the afternoon.
Julie is the one in the front, on the left. I do yoga twice a week with her mother, Bridgett, and her father, Brad, is the director of our Teaching-Learning Center.
The band played a selection of movie music from Colonel Bogey March, to a John Williams medley, and a medley of music from Chicago. I think we sounded pretty good. The trumpet section was particularly good!
