As I said in my firs post, I'm going to write about sports or music. This time I'm going to write about music, exactly about accordion orchestras, because I'm the drummer of one of it.
To get in this orchestra, I had to learn music theory for 7 years and apart from that another 7 years of practicing more than 15 percussion instruments, such as the kettledrum, xylophone, drums...
This orchestra is called " Isidro Larrañaga Acordeoi Orkesta" and is from Tolosa, one of the biggest towns of Gipuzkoa. We are very famous in this area but the accordion orchestras are very unknown in the rest of Europe. Because of that we don't have enough concerts to earn some money.
One of the most important concerts, was a European level championship in Czech Republic, Prague. Fortunately, we got the first prize, so in 2013 we are going to go to Innsbruck to the world championship. I don't think that we will win but I'm sure that we will have a lot of fun.
WHAT'S THIS? IF IT IS A VIDEO, EMBED IT IN THE POST
