6:12 am
is less than $300.00 euros no wonder the locals roll out the red carpet for the annual festival which is a coalition to say that to the visitors started arriving on thursday in the village would look perfect with a clear good 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. it helps top up the coffers a little so you can breathe easier as it would be with the until the next year when it starts all over again and then they did 6 about a pulp it. none of the musicians get paid to go to each other it's all about fighting and glory. the news today i think we're forming at the festival and good as a good investment it's good for your career a lot of people can get to know and c o 2 should. do.
6:13 am
something simple to give you the boot to do. danielle has brought in brilliant force mints 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 band some i wonder but i think it's good for abandon it. is an exceptional chiva fly after he can't read music either in fact bright young is almost behind the facade being employed instead on adoption of the new since i can't see such as i learn the score by heart and play for orchestras and also almost without any sheet music up on. the band's diversity makes it unique. don't. really look for. all sort of you know other band in serbia is so
6:14 am

6:15 am
1st day of the festival when most serves still have to work bock tourists from all over the world a starting to arrive. this is about. i don't know why so many french people visit the festival this is probably because it's free and it's cold we have. so many visitors to the balkans the festival is the highlight of their trip. wall street 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. difficulty i don't know it all takes place in the streets you can be just standing around and chatting in an orchestra will appear on the corner and stop playing everybody dances sings you give them
6:16 am
a bit of money it's spontaneous so lively and 50 evolve. a celebration of music and cross cultural community up to a town was on the road danielle's team is exhausted. the bands taking part in the competition stay in the side. everyone knows everyone here the musicians get a warm welcome there's not a lot of time if before the 1st performance. hold on us you know more all of you feel like we're about to have a street parade in our regional costumes. it's a serbian tradition show other took on the sill. 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 here to.
6:17 am
bit of probably i feel a little if you believe it what exactly is it i mean anybody in. 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. all or for us all in all it was great basically a warm up the real thing won't start until the evening which kills. only found
6:18 am
a fan 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 earn them a bit of cash. when evening comes crowds to send on the village. live. once the sun has set the sound of trumpets fills the air for the musicians it's both fun and hard work they are more in one day include should than they usually do in a whole month but the best restaurant in creature is off limits to street musicians the owner only allows well known bands to play here that don't get paid but they do

6:20 am
so now daniel is still on the outside looking in he's well aware that once a band has won the golden chance that he can start to make good money it's not about the fairness of the post title i've got nothing but praise for the orchestra playing in the restaurant just one of which it was notable that will follow their very good. coming back machine back yeah they have a competition. it's tough to midnight but the party will last until morning danielle and his band members have no problems showing their appreciation for the band's 1st couple most disagree motormouth to people who live off tips so much so if someone gives you money you should be generous return. to some of the biggest bettors basin on which the world is a thought out there will be zeeshan stuff to spend money on music 1 or movies or
