The second concert (Music From Stage And Screen): I can�t remember the date of this one, I can hardly remember the time of year, I know it was the summer, I think it was just before the holidays, probably May or June. We volunteered to play in an after-school musical event, a music from stage and screen concert to raise money for Charlotte Parsons, a girl from our year-group whose life was tragically taken in a car crash. We had only a few practise sessions before the day but we decided to learn two brand-new songs, The �Buffy the vampire slayer� theme song by Nerf herder and Blink-182�s �Mutt�. Everyone had to go in fancy dress as someone from a film or TV programme so we decided to go as the five �Reservoir dogs� from Quentin Tarrintino�s classic film of same name. The concert wasn�t quite as we expected. It turned out to be full of string groups, wind instruments and keyboards, so we rocked the place when we came on stage. We came on to the stage after a flute group played a song that no one recognised which seemed to last forever. Everyone was more confident this time as we played �Mutt� first, our friends sitting at one of the tables all cheered as we hit the quiet bits in the songs. Then we started �Buffy� and all the townies cheered as they all watch that show, those people remembered that song as our finest accomplishment and constantly requested at the gigs we played at school after that even though the song�s crap compared to what we can play. The lights went down and we left the stage to go hang out with our friends outside I remember Adam climbing up onto the roof for some reason and we just fucked around as the orchestra began playing again. |
