Brass bands here,
Brass bands there,
Brass bands everywhere
And there we were listening,
Listening to these wonderful sounds.
The day was here once more,
The day of summer brass
Where brass bands combined,
Combined from all over
And what a day we had.
We laughed,
We cried,
As music affected us
As the tunes brought back memories,
Memories of times together.
A wonderful day was had
As music once more took over,
Took over our lives
In such a wonderful way.
Another day to remember.

- Comment from author about the poem: Every year there is a gig called Pershore Midsummer Brass, it is on the first Saturday in July and I have been many of them. This year there were 29 bands playing. Obviously I did not watch them all as we only had 12 hours to see them but yet again it was a wonderful day.

A fine write Gold.
Thank you Orchi.
Hurray for Brass Band Day! A beautiful song, beautifully played. Every time I hear it it conjures up the final scene in West Side story, as Tony lay dying. it evokes the tenderest sentiments, that's what music does. I'm so glad that you had a wonderful day, thank you for sharing it in this lovely poem.
Thank you Bella, it was a great day and one of the bands played that song, it was very moving.
