One of the performances on the Malaysia Day Celebration was the marching band.  This man looked good and special because his outlook matched very well with his musical instument - the horn.  He attracted my attention and I decided to take his photo.

If you were the person in the photo above and reading my blog here, I would like to send you your photo.

They were marching towards the stage.

Watch the video below.  You will notice that the picture above was taken when I was recording the video.  Sometimes I like this feature on my camera, but sometimes I don’t.  It can spoil my recorded video with a 2 seconds pause each time I take a photo.  That’s why I have a rule for myself when shooting video:- I do not use this feature when I shoot dancing performances on the stage.

The commander was leading the band.  I always like to see a commander throws his stick into the sky and turns it.

This lady drummer looked serious but funny.

Watch the video below and see if you can sense it.  I saw this similar scene (the way the lady hit the drum) somewhere in a battery advertisement on TV, a cartoon character with the batteries were hitting a drum as well.  The funniest part is the way hitting the drum.

Hey, if you were this lady and read these paragraphs, don’t be angry, okay .  You have done a good job to entertain everyone and make the ceremony a success.  I can send your photo and video to you too.

Lined up on the stage.

Big horns.

Another song.  Did you notice that another group of people on the stage were waving the flag.  As I told you, there were 6 stages, so the area was quite big.

Generally, this is a good marching band performance because they are entertaining although most of them looked serious.  I wonder if they were allowed to laugh or smile while doing their performance or they must be serious all the time.
