Thump, thump, thump
The lights on the bridge lit up one by one, and a red carpet was quickly rolled across the bridge in front of the audience seats, pulled by a small magic motorcycle, and then the music began to play.
First, a trumpet played a prelude, drawing everyone's attention to one side of the bridge, and then a neatly dressed band began to march onto the bridge.
They wore mainly white uniforms and tall hats on their heads. The leader held a flag and waved it up and down, directing the rhythm of the people behind him. Following closely behind were the band members of more than 300 people.
Some of them were playing trumpets, some were playing tubas, some had drums hanging on their chests, some had violins on their shoulders, some had flutes across their mouths, some were holding seventeen-reed shengs, and so on. Loran Hill couldn't even recognize some of the instruments.
As the music sounded, various instruments began to participate in the ensemble. They were arranged in rows of three, closely packed together, and moved forward while playing. In addition to these musicians, there were 200 students following them in light blue uniforms. They waved colorful flags and spun them neatly in their hands. Hundreds of them acted as one, attracting everyone's attention.
The team slowly stopped when they reached the center of the bridge. After a short rest, the bass drum sounded first. The shocking prelude slowly aroused the emotions of the audience, and then an exciting song began to play.
The blue-clad flag bearers at the back of the team gradually stood on both sides of the band, symmetrically, and no longer moved.
Then the musicians in white began to sway their bodies. When the first and third rows stepped to the left, the second row stepped to the right, alternating like waves, bringing an inexplicable infectiousness to the rhythm of the music.
Playing wind instruments is strenuous work that requires good lung capacity, and the performance is also very physically demanding. Even in winter, these musicians gradually feel their bodies getting hot, and slight sweat marks appear on their foreheads.
Watching the musicians’ strenuous performances, some students who had originally been indifferent were gradually infected by their enthusiasm and devoted their attention to it.
Finally, as the lead conductor swung the baton vigorously and placed it horizontally, the band's performance ended after three songs, and the lights on the bridge dimmed and went out.
The students in the audience were still a little uncomfortable, but the scene that appeared on the river immediately afterwards attracted everyone's attention again.
A blue smoke slowly rose from the wide river surface, and then two huge beams of light suddenly appeared on both sides of the bridge, hitting the center of the river surface, and a singer in a golden dress appeared on the water surface.
She was wearing transparent crystal dancing shoes, stepping lightly on the water, and then light blue ice flowers bloomed under her feet. As she danced on the river, her golden long skirt spun and spread out, and gorgeous hollow gold wire patterns also bloomed in the night.
A beautiful voice also sang along.
We are here
Soaring in the Sky
"Painting the night with the sun"
Then, a series of blue figures leaped from the bridge. These were the former flag bearers. They danced across the river, sometimes like icy mist, freezing the water, sometimes transforming into dancing figures. Wherever they flew, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the water, which then slowly melted.
"You and I, reflecting light like a mirror"
Shining like two flames
Burning in Another Time and Place
Then the lampposts on both sides of the bridge went out and bright red lights came on. It turned out that the lampposts were illuminated by two large ships, which were moored on both sides of the river bank. Neat square lanterns were hung on the ships, and then the sound of accompaniment music began to come from the ships.
"Where the past and present meet"
The world stirs within
"The song we play will never stop"
The singing and music reflected and collided with each other on the river surface. The blue dance outlined a blooming flower pattern made of ice on the river surface. Colorful fireworks rose from the big ship. The atmosphere on the scene reached its first climax here.
"I wish my past could be erased"
"But I cannot erase the dormant memories."
"I can't be loved, so set me free"
"I can't convey your love"
"I can't soothe your soul."
......
Afterwards, the lights on the large ships on both sides went out, and the music gradually died down, leaving only the sole golden singer dancing and singing alone on the river. That figure in the moonlight was lonely and adorable.
"I can't accept your hug"
"I can't find any words of comfort."
......
"Day after day, year after year"
"I felt the call"
"The past holds dreams for the future"
Loran Hill was sitting in the audience, listening to the song. For some reason, a faint mist filled his eyes, and a sense of familiarity and sadness gradually surged into his heart. Perhaps this is the charm of music, which makes people indulge in it.
"Time cannot erase all this"
Our hearts remember where they are
"Stay forever in the song we played"
At the finale, the large boats on both sides lit up again, their lights converging on the golden singer in the center. Her gorgeous long dress was incredibly vibrant, like a golden rose in full bloom. As the song faded, she stood quietly on the water, lifting her skirt in thanks.
"Lewigi!"
"Lewigi!"
"Lewigi!"
The students in the audience shouted out this name. The singer in the golden dress was the director of the evening's show, the "Crown of Melody," Lu Weiji. Although only a third-year student, she was already a school celebrity.
After saluting the audience, the singer extended a hand toward the sky. Her smooth arm was clad in a white lace glove. Then, the sound of flapping wings echoed from the sky, and the students looked up.
