orchestra

Orchestra: A large group of musicians who play together on various instrumens.
That would not describe what I went to yesterday. Yesterday I went to play at what was described as an orchestra. But according to wictionary, five people don't count as an orchestra. Especially if the director is so old that he forgets how long to hold a half note. The only viola player (also works at one of the city's pizza parlors) is constantly teased by the director for making "huge" mistakes while the rest of the people are just making up what they play. As far as I know, playing the right music wrong is better than playing the wrong music right. Eventually the director realized this and said "Du gjorde fel, men du gjorde helt rätt fel." One other interesting person is the german man who plays first violin with the director and I. He likes to play fast. He is the only person I have met who can fit almost a whole line in a single bar. The other people are somewhat normal, but that doesn't help any. some people's weirdness can make a whole lot of people look weird.
