Those of you that has read my previous posts will know that I spent last weekend in the lovely city of Bergen. I went up with my band to participate in the Norwegian National Brass Band Championship. We got on a bus up thursday evening and arrived late. Friday was spent rehearsing and the spare time I had I spent walking around town and shopping. The weather was quite shit, but it didn’t matter much. When evening came it was time to play in the contest. We where quite content with our performance and after there was a great party.
Saturday I went to listen to some of the other bands before I headed out to a good friend’s house to celeberate an Olaf themed birthday! I had a great time catching up with the wonderful people.
After this it was time to gather the band to party and get the results. For my band the results came as very bad news. But we decided to have a good time at the party and catch up with people from other bands.
Sunday it was time to get back on the bus and drive home. Very tired after a long period of rehersals, concerts that ended in a weekend of playing, partying and meeting great people!
Better luck next time Maja 😃
Thank you! Hope your right ☺
Sorry the weather was so uncooperative and your band didn’t win but it was good that you found ways to enjoy yourself anyway. I loved the Olaf cake. My ex-daughter-in-law loves anything Disney and I’m making her an Olaf quilt when the fabric arrives. You’d think she was 10 from the collection of Disney things. I made her pillow cases for her birthday. Glad you had fun anyway. Shopping helps everything. Have a wonderful week.
It was a busy, but lovely weekend. The best part og it was meeting up with friends from around the country. The little girl who got the Olaf cake was over the moon about it.
So sorry for the bad news… but it looks like you had fun!
The Olaf party looked like fun as well.
Thank you! I really enjoyed the trip even if it had a few disapointing party. Olaf party was wonderful.
Phew, Maja! What a non-stop weekend! It’s amazing for you to just take part and then a chance to party and meet so many friends. Hope the weather improves – here we’re being battered by Storm Imogen!
It was an amazing weekend for the most part. Imogen has been a bit grumpy all right hope it blows over soon.
Sorry it didn’t go so well for your band, but glad you’re so positive about having a good weekend! 🙂
Thank you! We’ll get them next year
So sorry Maja that your band didn’t win. It sounds as if you managed to have fun anyway. Even with the bad weather. Next time! Elizabeth
Thank you! It’s important to make the best of the situation.
Sorry you didn’t do better, but it still sounds like a great time.
Thank you. It was a great time.
Looks like you had a great time!
Thank you. I sure did. Hope your weekend was good as well!
Happy week at bergen !
Thank you, it was!
😊
Well, at least it was a great time! And the Olaf cake looks delicious.
It was a great time and the cake was tasty!
I’m sorry the results weren’t what you were looking for. But glad you decided to have fun anyway 🙂 Why not enjoy the music, food and friends.
Thank you! I’m of the same opinion, enjoy the things you can.
Would love to hear your band! Brass instruments go well with Progressive rick quite nicely! Big music makes amazingly BIG sound! Maybe look in to hooking up with a local jazz fusion or rick band and see what great ideas you can collaborate on! : )
Thank you! I have previously played with a few different rock and jazz bands it’s fun to do sometimes.
Very jealous! Keep it up, never let it go!
That is the best cake I think I have ever seen!
Thank you! She is really great at baking!
Looks like you still had a great time! 🙂
Thank you! I did.
