BIG BAND

Well,... make that VERY BIG BIG Band rather...


I went to see last night's rehearsal of the JD's Big Band, originally consisting of Alumni Jubal members, but now - 20 years after their formation - with quite a few added faces from outside the corps.

They're HUGE !
9 saxophones, 9 trombones, 10 trumpets, 1 drummer, 1 string bass, 1 bass guitar, 1 guitar, 1 keyboard and 1 conductor.


I still remember their debuting performance 20 years ago at our annual corps' New Year's Eve concert evening. They sucked,... BIG TIME. Ok,... they hadn't had that much rehearsal time
But things have definitiely changed since that night.

Today they're great!

We'll be giving a joint-concert on Saturday on the occasion of "Koninginnedag" - celebrating our Queen's birthday - in front of City Hall.
