Chiayi
Band Festival.
Walking around a track, playing brass, woodwind and
percussion instruments and staying incredibly together,
this is Min Syong Junior High School��s 180 person
marching band. They��re getting ready for the Chiayi
International Band Festival, which starts tomorrow.
It��s awesome.
These eighth grade students are really amazing. They
practice together twice a week and have been doing
this for only a little over a year. Min Syong��s marching
band is better than some high school bands and usually
places first in regional competitions. Now we��re going
to stop bothering them so they can focus on practicing
for tomorrow��s parade and performance.
Chiayi has some traditional street food that are pretty
tasty. This is a thick, folded flour pancake. The
one Dinh��s eating is savory and has cilantro in it.
It��s really good.
On the opening day of the International Band Festival,
all the participating bands will parade through the
city. The modern marching band came from the military
marching band where drummers and other musicians played
tunes to keep soldiers moving at a good pace. The
costumes of today��s marching bands are a reminder
of its history.
Students of all ages and adults participate in the
festival, but what really surprised us was a kindergarten
band. Not only are the cute, they��re good too!
Formations are the highlight of marching band performances.
It��s almost magical watching so many of them play
and move in perfect synchronization. And the music
and the ambience is just so intense.
I really thought that all the kids are amazing. Amazed
by the fact that it goes from kindergarten to older
people, adults. Just seeing that music can unite all
these people together, I��m speechless. It��s just really,
really impressive.
The Chiayi International Band Festival takes place
every year from December to January.
