Evo & Grace: The WanderLusts

When I was still young and in primary school, I was a member of a drum and lyre group of our school. We usually were present in every feasts, city activities, schools inter-city sports activities. We joined competition, that allowed me to travel from one city to another municipality at the very young age. I loved it every time we're performing then, I love playing xylophone while parading over the city with those high boots and short polka-dotted skirts representing our school. While my younger brother is holding a cymbals the one like that of hi hat cymbals at Musicians Friend. But later on he's into snare drum. We we're having fun all those times. The prime moment was when we won the grand champion of the Drum and Lyre Corps competition all over Palawan. It was such a great honor to be a member of the group. The first and last time of that kind of competition.

Watching August Rush sometime last week made me love to listen to more orchestra-tic music! Who wouldn't? I love how those musical instruments joined together can make a very lovely sound! It feels so good, really. Big percussion gives me thrill! Violins are enticing! Enhances the moods (positively). Now, it made me feel sad that orchestra is not really a "thing" here in the Philippines. But anyways, would really be great if one of my kids be interested in joining or even learning musical instruments. Before I had this thick song book that have the notes of every beautiful old songs I've known, but someone borrowed it but didn't return it. It could've been a good start to learn playing musical instruments like the violin or guitar. Now, I wonder if I they're selling some  exceptional Hal Leonard  products here in the Philippines?
