Deafening chatter, but no matter
Eager anticipation, pride of the nation
Bringing sensation
To eagerly awaiting ears
Musicians slowly take their place
Becoming as one with instruments
Those vary in shape and size
Differing sounds
Can be heard
Above ever increasing, unbelievable audience noise
As if joining in the battle to be heard
How long will this go on?
Eardrums suffering
Then as if turned by a switch
Silence and order returns
Announcing the arrival of the main man
Once again noise returns
But this time adoration, salutation
Warm greetings, expectation
Baton aloft
As we commence our journey to another place
More memorable than one can imagine
And never wants to return from
