Once again, I can’t enough of marching bands.
As a follow-up to the Vietnamese marching band I recently shared with you, I now present an Indian marching band.
This group was parading through the little town where I was living in the south of India as part of a wedding procession.
Being one of only three visitors, everyone knew who I was, so when I pulled out my camera to snap a photo, the entire group stopped to make sure I got it.
They were standing right in the middle of the street and holding up traffic but insisted I get this picture.
Mission Accomplished.
Although the photo is good, I love video for a reason because the music, and dancing in the video footage I got of this moment really brings this photo to life. You can see it in my Srivilliputtur India video.
I don’t know what it is about India that gives me such an interest in returning when I see a photo like this one. However, when I close my eyes and actually take myself back to my time there, I quickly recall the frustrations and anxiety it inflicts on you.
Perhaps I will return, just not right before monsoon season.
Rookie mistake!
