    8 ) PLAY Convention in Modena Italy 11-04-2015

    With excitement I had the occasion for visiting another country wich has a Garrison. Italy!

    It was also for meeting a great Legion friend from whom I had purchased some costumegoods

    & accessoires.

    Me and my girlfriend departed 10th april and had about 6hours driving south direction Milano

    and then turn direction Bologna wich is about 35km's away from Modena. The site & con contained

    about 3 big halls of shows & a lot of places to play card- and boardgames and also some merchandising.

    I had also the occasion to meet Alberto from the Italy Garrison, TD9009.

    It was a fantastic experience. A lot of fun and wonderful hospitality. I really have a bit the blues

    going back to bizz as usual.

    This is Alberto & me:

    6) John Williams Concert, directed by Ludwig Wicki - 21st century Symphony Orchestra, MONTREUX

    Honestly first I didnt know so well who John Williams is , to my shame, until I saw the concert lineup.

    Superman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Schindler's List, E.T., Star Wars. Wow!

    And I've never been in Montreux , where the jazzfestival is taking place.

    So driving 2hours with car I was gently surprised about this village at lake geneva. Almost a little Monaco.

    Lots of cars that looked like it is a place for the rich. And no chance to park my one :-/ but after all I had

    time to take a walk at the lakeside and go to the famous freddy mercury statue.

    Montreux @the lake geneva

    We were gathering up in the Jazzcafe, wich is close to the Auditorium Strawinski (the concert hall), had some drink & starter

    and were warmly welcomed by the Auditorium's Eventmanager, had a visit through the rooms & halls and had a chance also

    to listen to a first check of the orchestra practising, and then got lot of pizza :-)

    The plan was to start at 19h when the first visitors come. We even had a rehearsal as our group was planned for a short intermezzo

    in the 2nd part of the concert, after end of ET and start of Star Wars, where they played 4 songs in total.

    And it was absolutely overwhelming and amazing. We did our short Job well. Marched into the hall in almost complete dark and

    safety-checked the orchestra's director's stick about beeing a terrorweapon or not and stepped aside right after it, to listen to imperial march,

    the main theme, Across the stars and Duel of the Fate as encore with a great great chorus. Absolutely worth all time and energy spent.

    I'm not gona forget this evening so fast.
