Stars and Stripes on Chinese TV!
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 8:09 am
I am currently in China and one of the things I do like over here is a couple TV channels devoted to music, and a lot of it classical, or bands.
When I arrived, the first evening I relaxed to a full performance of Wagner Meistersinger from Beijing music festival. Today watched amongst others a Japanese marching band (surprisingly musical!) and just now performances of Sousa's Liberty Bell and Stars and Stripes played by the President's Own Band.
And if you wonder why I am just sitting around watching TV, this week is holiday and next week business, quality assuring another new order - and evaluating two completely new models of tubas (very exciting!). Both original Wessex designs and not clones! If they have worked out as intended you will hear more later...
