Concert

On Sunday me, Bernardo, Nana, and Lala went to a concert at the Cultural Center of Veranópolis. Like everything here in Veranópolis the Cultural Center is very small and so was the Orchestra. It had 23 people who were mostly high school students with a few adults. It was called "Orquestra De Sopros De Veranópolis". The concert was a "Concerto De Cinema" so they played the themes from some popular movies. The interesting thing was that 10 of the 11 movies were american just like many forms of media here. Almost all the popular movies here are american, same with TV shows like Lost, CSI, Gossip Girl, The Simpsons, and Prison Break. The orchestra started out by playing the "Century Fox" theme which was pretty funny for me because I thought I was going to a classical concert. They also played the James Bond Theme, The Circle of Life, The Lord of the Rings Theme, The Indiana Jones Theme, Pirates of the Caribbean Theme, The Pink Panther Theme, The Peter Gun Theme, The Theme from Titanic, The Good The Bad And The Ugly Theme, and the theme from 1492 - Conquest of Paradise. They played pretty well. It was kind of like a small high school band. While they were playing they had a screen showing a montage of scenes from the movie that the music was from.
