through the. music supposed to make you want to dance ate your body don't worry about falling off the steps and just starts to the music of the classic got. most of the orchestra comes from the sounds. of the largest minority here in the bar now 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 roma camp father brother the whole family a trumpet players and have been for 4 generations. only went to school for 4 years. only a bush national. is just. going to school.
8:09 am
but i don't really regret a school. you can achieve a lot by going to school that you know that you simply don't use to earning my money but the trumpet. earns his own money and supports his family. and there's a lot. the trumpet is our life it means everything to my husband and children. all of the time livelihood that keeps us fed. he said 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 the only thing that wouldn't hit the root of all some difficulty. trumpet players are highly respected in serbian society through robotic trumpet is my brain. so global more with the trumpet you can assert

8:12 am
a campsite were expecting at least 100 people hopefully for the. parking spaces cost $5.00 euros per day the average monthly wage in west in serbia is less than $300.00 euros no wonder the locals roll out the red carpet for the annual festival logical rush to the fair to the visitors started arriving on thursday in the village would look perfect with a clear good it's only a few days that then as humans you know you can't live all year on what you earn. but at least the festival is extra money. it helps top up the coffers a little so you can breathe easier as it would be the one till the next year when it starts all over again they're like oh and then they did 6 about a puppet. none of the musicians get paid to go to the cho it's all about fighting and glory. in. the news today i think we're

8:14 am
really good for. all 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 workable system you go. you know everything works brilliantly she sure and we've all made friends there's. a washer source code. it goes to show that it's possible to overcome differences between nationalities. and the. it is it's.
8:15 am
the stage is set the pace of roasting on the spits and the fun can begin thursday is the 1st day of the festival when most serves still have to work bock tourists from all over the world a starting to arrive. and this is about the camp life of i don't know why so many french people visit the festival. it's probably because it's free and it's cold. and so many visitors to the balkans the festival in future is the highlight of their trip. was to joke and. busy there's a great trumpet scene in france that's why we hear so much about the festival. and it's completely unlike any.
8:16 am
typical didn't know it all takes place in the streets you can be just standing around and trashing in any orchestra will appear on the corner and stop playing everybody dances sings you give them a bit of money it's spontaneous so lively 50. a celebration of music and cross cultural community after a town was on the road danielle's scene is exhausted. the bands taking part in the competition stay in the same house everyone knows everyone here the musicians get a warm welcome there's not a lot of time if before the 1st performance. donoghue no more all of the feel like we're about to have a street parade in our original costumes. it's a serbian tradition show. it's a canal so.
8:17 am
the parade in the afternoon the orchestras lined up on the street every serbian region is represented in the competition. some international bands idea to a. little crowd little league if you please everybody exactly. it and i believe what. the mood is exuberant and so is the music it's a cough and the visitors love it but some of the musicians can barely hear themselves not that it matters is.
8:18 am
all still for 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 hold up and see if they're not being paid for appearing so these spontaneous street concerts at least on them 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 earn more in one day and good should than they usually
8:19 am
do in a whole month but the best restaurant in kitchen is off limits to street musicians the owner only allows well known bands to ply here that don't get paid but they do get beat tips. out there but. if an orchestra is good. to play here at least with one of the warts if they have to be parents my kids snow there because they will compete to play here an orchestra 502000 or even 5000 euros today.

8:23 am
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 that overlay. with the fanfare of trumpets that makes the festival so joyous so exuberant and wild. oh my love amazingly even though there are lashings of alcohol there's hardly ever any aggression. the big moment has come the daniel caustics orchestra is about to take to the stage
