On a hot summer Saturday in Melbourne, I spent basically all day in the seats of the Sidney Myer Bowl with my friend Victoria to secure good seats for a free concert. As we sat in the sticky afternoon sun, a concert band made up of all public transportation workers came on stage to open for the main act. As a former band geek, I fully appreciated this and can only hope that there's a band made up of all teachers in the future for me .\\//
I didn't know what to expect. I honestly just came along because I had nothing better to do. But this, this was amazing! Far beyond what I could have hoped to just randomly stumble upon. Melbourne really is where the culture is. Did I mention that this was free??
The sun was still shining when the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra took the stage in the evening. But as the orchestra captivated me for hours I didn't even realize that the sun had set and the day had cooled down by the time everyone in the crowd was standing for a standing ovation.
It was a wonderful day spent outdoors in the sun, in good company :)
