Brianza Parade Band, from Italy, has announced their 2015 production ‘The Gift’, with which the group will attend the WAMSB World Championships in Copenaghen, on July 5th, and the Italian IMSB Championship, the next Sunday. The original hornline music was written by Key Poulan, percussion by Lee Beddis and Ray Donato and Francesco Ferrini, drill design by Nicola Esposito, and color guard choreography by Lisa Camiolo.

“It is well to give when asked,

but it is better to give when unasked,

through understanding;

[…]

All of what you have

shall some day be given;

Therefore give now,

that the season of giving may be yours

and not of your inheritors'.”

(From “On giving”, G. Kahlil Gibran)

The group explains the show theme as follows: "The joy surrounds us, to see it is up to us. Also, is up to us to build one every day, even if small, because only by joining our joys and our forces we will give life to happiness. Big actions are not required: on the road to happiness we won't find encumbering and big things, because everything that is physically large cluttered our path; small and generous gestures are the furnishings that make the road to happiness magnificent, and the simple and good things are the real gems studded on the most important jewel we have: our life. A small thing, an innocent desire, a simple gesture that comes from the heart, all this is inside the seed of wonder, and wonder is the characteristic of children, the thing that we lose when we become adults."

Today Brianza wants you to return children, giving you a drop of wonder. "We will take a child, we will add an innocent desire and a free act of love; we will add all with that which could seem a poverty of possessions, but is actually the greatest wealth in the world, namely the condition that some people have of needing help from others, and the ability for others to be useful to them: and this makes the joy. This is our gift to you: today we give you the hope that we could have a better world, the knowledge that together we can do something, even just giving each other a little joy, which is in realty a true gift of love."
