Mootown's Summer Music Festival ... part 4 of 5

Part 4 of 5

 Moonpig takes along his trumpet, which if you recall is a  'Martin Committee large bore Handcraft trumpet' made in 1939, and uses a No. 3 silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926. Pinky brings along her triangle which Moony did not object to in the end, and off they trot to Mootown  Music Festival. 

Front seats 4 us !!!

The bandstand comes into view, the platform has been erected and roofed for outdoor band performances and provided by the Mootown Council...for a small fee plus 10%. Chairs to one side can be reserved for a small fee plus10%, otherwise a bring your own seat section is set out for a small fee plus10%. Standing room is also available for a modest fee plus10%, (tax to put stuff in the market is by a strange coincidence the same 10% fee). 

There's a notice hanging on the bandstand. It says...'As it's still rather hot, the Music Festival is put back till after 3pm which by that time, things should be cooling down.'...

All the instruments to be played are already waiting stacked up to oneside and despite the heat they should be alright. Although thinking a little, Anyone could steal them !! but he was already locked up in prison. So, they should be alright. 

--Phew ! grunts Moonpig, wiping his brow between his legs, (possibly a...yoga position ?). Lets jump up on the bandstand anyway & prak-tis...but b kareful of all the instruments that r already ear waiting 2 b played no doubt...(few wrong Earth word spellings but who cares)

--Okay M-o-o-n-y, yells Pinky stepping backwards and putting her trotter through the big bass drum.

Silly place to leave a drum oinks Pinky 

--Sokay lets just hide it behind the rest of the instruments...scrrrape! scrrrrape! (noise of scraping and dragging of drum being hidden). Moonpig raises the trumpet to his erm...lips...Moonpig continues to explain to Pinky... 

The sound is produced by blowing air through closed lips, like so, producing a buzzing sound into the mouthpiece & starting a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the trumpet. The sound resonates in a deep full bodied...erm sound (well you have to believe it)...listen...Phtut toot toot, phtut parrrp ! (Okay, soooo he was only learning might need more practice :) )

Farmies and pigs stop startled in their tracks to listen to the strange erm....wonderful sound, (i think) but can you think of why were they screwing their faces up ? Perhaps the sun was in their eyes ?

--I'll have a practice too,...Pinky plays...anyway she wants on her triangle...tingle ting ting...tingle ting ting.

--R wot a lovely sound Pinky, give eet som welly!!!

--Okay...we can have our own music festival :)

Go 4 eet Pinky !!!

So Pinky 'goes to town' as it were...listen !!! Tingle lingle lingle lingle ting ting lingle lingle lingle ting  ting .....

At the same time, Moony blows for all he's worth...Phtut toot toot, phtut parrrp Phtut toot toot phtut PARRRPP! (not much improvement there then :) )

There's no stopping her now !!! As Pinky beats the hell out of her triangle...Tingle lingle lingle lingle ting ting Tingle lingle lingle lingle Ting Ting TING!!!! Round and round she hits the triangle with her triangle stick in circle after circle without let up...creating a continuous DIN !!! Tingle lingle lingle lingle ting ting Tingle lingle......

Farmies and pigs that were standing around suddenly run off shouting FIRE !!!! FIRE !!!! Farmies and pigs think the continuous noise of the triangle is the fire alarm..... 2 b continued

Part 3 of 5

 After about 20 minutes, Pinky comes rushing in Moonpig's farmhouse almost knocking him over ! Moonpig frowns ^>@<^ (< like that), Pinky cowers and is most apologetic and regretfully acknowledges fault or failure...i did say almost didn't i :)

--Wots that u hiding b-hind ur back, grunts Moonpig holding and rubbing a  sore backside. AND in rather a bad mood, mutters something about a bruise forming !!!

Pinky's chin begins to wobble a sure sign that she will burst into tears !!!

Pinky thinks...and thinks...and thinks...Then runs off.

--Oh well, might not c her agen then, grunts Moonpig.

No sooner words were out of his snouty mouth, when.......

--Look what I found, squeals Pinky with delight ! (so who is this Delight ? Name of another pig perhaps ? )

Moonpig looks and shakes his head with disbelief !!! (even though Disbelief..erm...another pig had just flown out the window...so to oink!)

--I dow fink that iz wot them u'll b looking 4...after all eet iz a program of festive activities, cultural events, or a music festival of the highest calibre type...Moonpig rolls his eyes in a snooty way...which shows disapproval or contempt towards others, especially those considered to belong to a lower social class (like Pinky...according to Moonpig).

--It's entertainment...snivelled Pinky, wiping her runny snout on the back of her trotter.

--That may az well b, but iz not erm...upper class enuf...soz...so no u can't bring that 2 the erm...Music Festival...iz juz not allowed !!!....2 b continued
