Wiltshire Youth Drummers, and Their Audience

11 Sep 2023 4 2 92
I posted this picture ten years ago. It didn't look right then, and it doesn't look right now, but at least it looks better than it did. The best thing about the original post was the comment it generated concerning the word 'bokeh', or maybe 'boke', and its origins. From memory, the five-strong group of Wiltshire Youth Drummers marched nicely in single file, and made a satisfying clattery noise, but as entertainment they were a bit limited unless your idea of a good time was listening to drumming. Still, at least they didn't get heckled, which was the fate of some other acts in the event. This is a tough town. One further, if pedantic, point: Not all the drummers met the description 'youth'. There was a stout fellow who was definitely not 'youth', and another chap wearing some sort of animal skin was borderline. When does youth end? Perhaps it is a philosophical question, in which case disregard my uncharitable remarks. You can't see them in this photograph anyway, because of bokeh, or boke, or whatever. Only the audience is really visible, and I am making no remarks concerning the audience.
