Delisle and Outlook
December 15, 2009
Shows #5 and 6. December 2, 2009.
Our third day of the Tatterhood Tour had us heading south of Saskatoon to Delisle and Outlook.
It was great to see posters of our concert displayed so nicely in the Delisle Elementary School! Kid from the Pike Lake School joined us for this show and we had a full house of eager kids, teachers and community members.
Listen up! The horn takes an important call while on tour:
After a great show in Delisle, we travelled on to Outlook!
Here’s a picture of the bassoon. Did you know that a bassoon has 7 feet of tubing that is bent into a U shape to make it easier to play?
Below is a picture of Richard playing his double bass. The double bass is also known as a string bass or upright bass. Oh, and its pronounced like “base.” Its not a fish and it doesn’t rhyme with glass!
This bass was made for Richard in 2009 by Darren Molnar, a talented instrument maker who lives in Saskatoon! You can see pictures of a string instrument being made on Darren’s website by viewing his Workshop Gallery: http://www.darrenmolnarviolinstudio.com/Pages/Workshop%20Gallery.htm
After the show, things got a little out of hand when it went for a slam dunk and got caught up in the basketball net!
Our 2009 tour of Tatterhood ended here BUT it’s not over folks!
We’ll be back in early 2010 so stay tuned for more dates and locations!
In the meantime, check back often for updates and fun stuff!
