They do seem to have some attention difficulties. That trombone player will always be playing the blues until someone is kind enough to show him where the correct mouth piece is located! lol.

Lyn, a very neat photo and best wishes in the contest! ~~ John

A cool balancing act by the trombone player LE. Rehearsals are entertaining to watch. Good contest entry.

Very funny rehearsal scene. I'm still loughing. This trombone 'eater' must be a sword eater in his real life. :) Great idea and work, Lyn. Good luck in the contest, my friend.

He is a regular star on TV in Germany Lyn. He will be happy to know that he is getting the prize for you :)

I LOVE this picture. I've watched the Rieu gang so many times when they're all dressed up and very formal. This is just awesome. Have you heard their rendition of "Waltzing Matilda"? It's on youtube and it's awesome! good luck.

A Funny scene.Superb photo,Eve.Good luck.

Now...that man looks familiar to me...lol...

I love his shows, there most of the time cheerful and happy and always with a laugh, he is good in his work :o)

Lovely shot of this "band" and best of luck in the contest.

Very nice entry, and good luck to you Lyn. Tigs♥ =^..^=

What lovely ornate music stands. I have not heard of this man, but will seek him out on youtube. Rehearsal hall is a familiar place for me, having lived with a concert hall musician and having had a daughter play violin in symphony. I kind of miss some of that now. Of course, I could go, but now I'd have to pay for admission! lol A fine entry in the music category contest, Lyn.

Lyn - You mean that 'the balancing a trombone in my mouth' is not part of the concert performance? Rieu's concerts are part showmanship, part excellent music - fun to attend. AS a trumpeter friend of mine says, 'Brass players are a wild and crazy bunch'. Thad

He is familiar to me too Lyn.. good luck in the contest! Mich

Nice on Lyn.. unfortunately I missed him when he was here.. made an impromptu performance in the mall in Brisbane missed that too.. lol.. thanks for sharing.. good luck in the contest

Super action shot. The fellow in the white short sleeved shirt is playing the instrument that I played in an orchestra, it's called a Oboe (double reed woodwind). Brings back wonderful memories for me

You've done a wonderful job with this photo, LynEve. The fun and joy that these musicians find in their craft is beautifully captured in this scene. I love the expression on André Rieu's face and all the activity taking place among the members of the orchestra. A marvelous moment captured and preserved. Well done!

Lovely...always wanted to learn the violin, something magical about the sounds it makes :)
