On Wednesday the orchestra witnessed a first, the marraige of two current members during a tour. Erik and Laura were married in the Richard Strauss Instituit in Garmisch on a cool, sunny morning. As well as friends and family, members of the orchestra were allowed to attend and many people came as the couple have a long history with the orchestra.
The wedding march was played by four horns (we even got a mention in a local newspaper).
That evening a buffet was provided for the whole orchestra and the drinks were free. 280 liters of beer, several hundred shots, some cheeky scandal and a nightclub in town later and everyone was feeling a bit worn out, but a lovely night was had by all and we all give the lucky viola and harp playing couple our very best wishes.

Let me guess - Richard Strauss institute, wedding, four horns - the opening of Also sprach Zarathustra? (I have heard of this being played at weddings, by the way!!!)
Unfortunately not, we did play that song from humperdink hansel and gretel though....
