this is for you my love!

So basically this has been one of the best weeks of summer ever :)

I was part of the band for the menno youth gathering thingy.
WE WERE SOOOOO AWESOME!
Like really.
Not only was everyone involved super talented, but we had the best selection of instruments between the 9 of us.

Including:
Cello
Violin
Pop Bottle Bass (BEST THING EVER!!!! lol. Like really)
Melodica
Piano
Djembe(spelling?)
Drum Kit
EVERY KIND OF HAND HELD PERCUSSION EVER
Flute
Banjo
Trumpet
Trombone
Fanfare Trumpet
Penny whistle
MANY MANY MANY guitars
and VOICES!!!

We had every kind of musical style I can think of(except maybe screamo/rap...).

Some of my favourite musical highlights include:
 Acacpella 4 part harmony between 9 people(SO GORGEOUS!!!!)
Impromtu drum circle/epic ad lib flute solo
Last minute guitar/flute duet. We slowed down some of most reflective music. And it was just a wonderful moment, making beautiful music with the lights barely there. It was like a magical dream. Yeah. i enjoyed it :)

There have been a few crazy/frustrating moments, but at least I got to go through those with some of my new favourite people. Some of which I may never see ever again... actually.
Brilliant idea. Imagonna invite the band over for a BBQ/bonfire!

There were definitely some challenges(example: having to choose music to fit a service... 10minutes before sound check). But it was so worth it.
I'm going to miss everyone so much!
