Hey ladies and gents!
On Saturday, November 23rd, I went to see “Heroic Brass”, a Mississauga Symphony Orchestra show,
featuring the amazingly talented trumpet player/pianist, Guy Few, who played for a packed hall.
He only played the trumpet this time, but it was still pretty sweet
(side note: I totally thought he’d play the trumpet and the piano at the same
time- hope to catch that sometime!)!

The show was great- with a lot of powerful numbers.
There was a point in the first half of the show where they had the image
of a Disney-esque castle projected in the background, and as I looked at the
musicians and the way they synchronized their movements while playing, I felt
like I was watching a classic Disney movie, like “Fanstasia” for some
reason.
During half time (I
know it’s called the intermission, but I notice I tend to call it ‘half time’),
I caught a few local ‘celebrity’ sightings as well, including 3/5 of the band,
Pretty Odd, as well as guitarist, Matt Hamilton from the punk band, IVS- all who were
dressed up, and looking quite dapper.
To kick off the 2nd
half of the show, MSO President and bass player, Paul Weston cracked a few
jokes (he’s awesome), as well as mentioned how we can “adopt a musician”
before continuing the show. I noticed even from the October show, when Paul Weston takes the mic, he is always entertaining.
At the end of a crazy week, it was pretty sweet to just kick back and listen to a live orchestra playing classical music.
