and then i was asked. is the world really getting better. a global $3000.00 special reports. starts august 19th sunday didn't. i've. a future trumpet festival for 3 days and 3 nights the small village in serbia gives itself over to madness trumpets blair out around the clock in the streets the campsites and the restaurants beer in the local schnapps rakyat of low generously. prasanna from all over serbia come here to take part in the competition all of them

hope to win the golden trumpet. and not the sad bandleader daniel hostage and his musicians won a regional round to compete for the gold and trumpet in the serbian eldorado of brass music. the band includes maria she'll be the only female trumpeter competing in future.

daniel migrated from the poor south to the rich north of serbia where he now lives with his wife and 2 children he says that he owes his musical ambition to his family. the swarf and i became a father when i was 16 and some of the day my wife gave birth to our baby everything changed for me. when we went to homes where it became clear to me i had to take responsibility for my family. i had to work and i had to fight for my child for my family for my career that you. know. we want to do. we have to travel to wherever were hired to play wedding music this is. just to thank god we've got work. so i wouldn't say i

could live from it all the time. but when the wedding season comes it really goes well for you. both to do says well. danielle comes from a region about 6 hours south of north east side on the border with kosovo it's seen as serbia's poor house on your left more than 10 years ago and moved north to end his living from music. such a long response you we're now going to the house where i grew up so you know let me tell you my story. that's something. i left here in search of a better life on the bus for miles there were several families living here a lot of people and everything was great. well preserved but everyone's gone now to germany sweden or denmark or belgrade or novi sad about but one of the

results most of the village is now almost empty. just a few older people have stayed. i love to visit my house and the rest of my family general fund most of your fellow. daniel's grandfather's soren now lives alone in the family home and daniel goes to visit him to get his blessing before he speaks performance. lucy going to bite. the news of his success in the 1st round spread quickly there was no one congratulate you even though everyone who knew about it this spiritual truth yes everyone has heard of our success we were told if god wills and google was almost. you know why i don't jump on i said i'd

be so ira good just because you want the 1st round you need to stay calm and keep your feet on the ground in the was held by the people remember who you are we started out with nothing. really small and nice to. cross that's who i am. in honor of his grandfather danielle and his band from the south refers here for the last time before the performance in. the orchestra has 10 members only 6 of them making it today they give it their all. the money to go none of us can read music we have no musical education it's just too on what is one of 2 things if you don't have that you have to have something else feel for music

a little bit is under. you have to be in love with it. normal is like a list of those if those are the those. a music supposed to make you want to dance ate your body don't worry about selling off a stack just doubts to the music of the classic got the. most of the orchestra comes from down the road the largest minority here in havana the unemployment rate is over 50 percent and there's little hope things will improve many young people leave the region in search of work. 14 year old the youngest member of daniel's orchestra lives in

a brand new camp father brother the whole family a trumpet players and have been for 4 generations. david only went to school for 4 years. the new year bush. is just. going to school. but i don't really regret it. you can achieve a lot by going to school that you know that sort of will be simpler than used to earning my money with the trumpet you know it's. david earns his own money and supports his family. and there's a lot of the trumpet is our life it means everything to my husband and children this is the time livelihood that keeps us fed. david started going to school playing the trumpet was what he wanted to do while he

learned to play at the age of 8 or 9 and he. did to them to rule on all some difficult. trumpet players are highly respected in serbian society through graphic the trumpet is my brain. so global more of the trumpet you can assert yourself pressure the dish and it can take you anywhere you want. but you do almost anything and as he. is setting off. his mother pours water on the path as she says good bye it's supposed to bring good luck. or fall off the shelf and there are every mother would be happy to know that her son is making something of himself that he performs on stage this whole scene and i'm proud of her i'm so proud to be able to form a skill set. in the coming days this tranquil village and western

serbia will be hosting a riotous party now in its 58 year the balkan brass festival is becoming more and more popular it brings a lot of money into groucho the rest of the year the villages live mainly from agriculture. ready the stanage family has had a farm here the 7 generations. milenko is hurrying to repair his tractor the yard has to be cleared for the festival. even 75 year old grandma helps out. that we work all day long from dawn to dusk in the yard when you're in the stables and in the fields that's the way it is. before the bread is baked the dough has to be leaders and.

meanwhile her grandchildren are busy setting up a campsite for festival goers. well in a few days everything here will be fall down by the river it'll be packed with more than a 1000 cars still that this will be a campsite where expecting at least 100 people hopefully for the. parking spaces cost $5.00 euros per day the average monthly wage in western serbia is less than $300.00 euros no wonder the locals roll out the red carpet for the annual festival logical mission to the fair to the visitors started arriving on thursday in the village would look perfect with a query that it's only a few days that you can't live all year on what you earn. but at least the festival is extra money. at the mall and it helps top up their coffers

a little so you can breathe easier just as it would be with the want children next year when it starts all over again and i gladly did 6 about a puppet. none of the musicians get paid to go to get show it's all about fame and glory. and you some day i think reforming at the festival and good show is a good investment it's good for your career a lot of people can get to know and see what the solution. to. this is subtle simple you know who to do. danielle has grossing reinforcements to improve his chances. maria and right young a music students from novi sad. new to much of what joe was and then people are curious that there's a girl in the back and some i wonder but i think it's good for abandoning.

isn't exceptional chiva fly after he can't read music in fact rajar is almost behind the studying including said done adoption again since i can't see the slightest if i learn the score by heart and play for orchestras and also almost without any sheet music but if. the band's diversity makes it unique. i want. to move. to sort of you know other band in serbia is so inclusive some of us are black some of us are white. but the beauty is that we all fit together perfectly. the system you go. everything works brilliantly judicial and we've all made friends. it goes to show that it's possible. to overcome differences between nationalities.

and the. good. that is. that is its most. the. value. on. the stage is set the piece of roasting on the spit and the fun can begin thursday is the 1st day of the festival when most serves still have to work to rest from all over the world starting to arrive. this is about how to plan for i don't know why so many french people visit 1st of all this is probably because it's free and it's cold because of. so many visitors to the balkans the festival in culture is the highlight of their trip.

was to just busy fall for there's a great trumpet scene in france that's why we hear so much about the festival. and it's completely unlike any other. to pick up on a it all takes place in the streets you can be just standing around and trashing a man an orchestra will appear on the corner and stop playing everybody dance and say nice you give them a bit of money it's spontaneous so lively if evolved. a celebration of music and cross cultural community after a sound was on the road danielle's chain is exhausted. the band's taking part in the competition study in the 2nd house. everyone knows everyone here to musicians get a warm welcome there's not

a lot of time there before the 1st performance. you know moral of the feel like we're about to have a street parade in our regional costumes but it's a serbian tradition sure. it's a colossal. and the parade in the afternoon the orchestras line up on the street every serbian region is represented in the competition. some international bands but he had too. little friendly i'll leave you to believe accept that at least. the mood is exuberant and so is the music it's a company the visitors love it but some of the musicians can barely hear themselves not that it matters.

little from us all in all it was great basically a warm up the real thing won't start until the evening charles. only found a fan found a band from portugal still has the stamina for an impromptu performance like older band see if they're not being paid for appearing so these spontaneous street concerts at least a bit of cash. when

evening comes crowds to send on the village. once the sun has set the sound of trumpets fills the air for the musicians it's both fun and hard work they know more in one day you should than they usually do in a whole month but the best restaurant is off limits to street musicians the i know only allows well known bends to ply here that don't get paint but they do get beat tips. there but. if an orchestra is going to play here it needs to avoid the waltz. to the so they have to be parents might hear slow their record they will compete to play here an orchestra cannot 502000 or even 5000 tourists today.

i. announce down the aisle is still on the outside looking in he's well aware that once a band has won the golden trumpet it can start to make good money it's not a postal service so the world. i was startled i've got nothing but praise for the orchestra playing in the restaurant all of us from all over should look over the

bono bottle they're very good now. going to the kitchen yeah they have a competition. it's constant midnight but the party will last until morning danielle and his band members have no problems showing their appreciation for the band's bust up the postal service motormouth to people who live off tips so if someone gives you money you should be generous return. to the board of that or is this an unwritten rule is the thought out there will be zeeshan stuff to spend money on the music room of her moods or some other bubble all about but i know most of it. at 3 am the streets are still packed the mood is euphoric.

day too. and everyone needs some down time cold refreshment iraqiya some chimp sounds or a combination of all strange. well what about a lot of folks who spend a lot of money here on the drink or some music on fun everything costs money to build up all the. future is a festival of contrasts it's popular in the alternative scene. but also among serbian nationalists national symbols are a bestseller. but lots of people just like the look of them.

find. the so strange the british everyone including the russians. the people who like us by the souvenirs like all of us i actually have some know their meaning and others just buy them as souvenirs. but these are all historical the national symbol which. i am on the visitors are ultra right nationalists katan patriots and posse go is from around the world right wing and left wing activists hipsters and hippies it's the contradictions of overlaid with the fanfare of trumpets that make the festival so joyous so exuberant and wild. to be loved by the amazingly even though there are lashings of

alcohol there's hardly ever any aggression. the big moment has come the daniel cross to orchestra is about to take to the stage . it goes. to the. daniel gives his band some last minute encouragement also stands up. to slow. down scenes of people have gathered to watch the show and serbian national television is broadcasting the entire event live serbia is looking for its next trumpet superstar us. you know mr miliband supreme power

thank. god for the now it's up to the jury to decide. this is what we came up with a price and we're hoping we will suspend i love the most if it were not. so but it below some cars would see it i'm satisfied with the way we played. the practice and all those hours of rehearsal were worth it so on over time and by still probably going up obama. it is amazing i feel better than i thought i would i just had a bit of stage fright. and was hopefully always you know nothing but this is our 1st parents our 1st time in the good competition. and i'm overjoyed with my orchestra and myself i did the best i could my band supported me in every way we did the best we could tonight now it's a. to the jury. margin carpenter. the audience of the

musicians follow the live broadcast intently the winners of the individual categories are announced one by one and a total of $11.00 price is awarded so far daniels band hasn't won anything but there's still a few categories to go. as. the prize for the best to the player is announced it's a bright young danielle probably accompanies him on stage oh. 000-000-0000 you got some got the job it is i'm so pleased that we won this prize for the 1st time it's a great success. ground man has been waiting for this moment for a long time old his hard work has paid off the. little video below it was amazing on stage my bad and i gave our best to the.
