DIE inperkingstyd is \u2019n groot demper wat die w\u00eareld tot stillstand gebring het, maar op Uitenhage het \u2019n groep jong musikante di\u00e9 tyd as \u2019n uitdaging gesien om met hulle musiek te probeer om gemoedere te lig en \u2019n positiewe boodskap te laat opklink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vlak vyf se strawwe inperkings weens die COVID-19 pandemie was vir Dylan Mostert en Geordren Deerling die ideale tyd om hul blaasinstrumente op te neem en musiek te maak. Dit was ook in di\u00e9 tyd dat hulle besluit het om die Sweet Melody Community Band blaasorkesgroep te stig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMusiek is ons groot passie. Met die samelewing wat tot stillstand gekom het en selfs kerke se deure wat toe is, het musiek vir ons groot ontvlugting gebied,\u201d s\u00ea Dylan, \u2019n trompetspeler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geordren het sy mede-musikante van die seunsbrigade ingelig oor hul plan om die orkes te stig en meeste van hulle het akkoord gegee en so het die gemeenskapsorkes begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan s\u00ea die naam Sweet Melody Community Band is vir hulle soos herlewing, want heelwat van die orkeslede was 10 jaar gelede deel van \u2019n orkes met dieselfde naam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns leef in \u2019n tyd vol pessimisme wat talentvolle jongmense beroof van drome en ideale. Maar musiek is magtig en met ons gemeenskapsorkes wil ons nie net onsself konstruktief besig hou nie, maar ook \u2019n positiewe impak in ons gemeenskappe maak,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die groep speel graag gewyde musiek en Geordren s\u00ea omdat kerkdeure toe is, mis mense dit om hul geliefde gesange te hoor of te sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is vir ons lekker om te sien hoe mense dit geniet en hoe hulle ons ondersteun,\u201d s\u00ea Geordren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om op te tree in die tyd van pandemie is senutergend en \u2019n groot aanpassing, maar die orkeslede hou streng by die inperkingsmaatreels. In di\u00e9 tyd het hulle by begrafnisse opgetree sowel as op uitnodiging in die gemeenskap, om mense se swaar gemoedere te probeer lig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geordren s\u00ea die orkes is baie versigtig en hou by die inperkingsre\u00ebls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns kan nie maskers dra as ons musiek maak nie, maar ons hou ons veilige afstand. Andersins sorg ons dat ons ons hande sowel as blaasinstrumente gereeld was of ontsmet,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die twee stigterslede s\u00ea ander jong musikante uit die gemeenskap wat wil aansluit by die Sweet Melody Community Band is welkom. Hulle beplan ook om met fondsinsamelingprojekte te begin om nuwe instrumente aan te koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan s\u00ea, \u201cOns hoop en vertrou om baie ander jong seuns en dogters te inspireer om ook met hul musiektalente \u2019n positiewe verskil in ons gemeenskappe te help maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is ons gebed en vurige wens dat onse Hemelse Vader ons families en land behoed en bewaar en veral die land sal genees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
