In my opinion musicians lead interesting lives. Their everyday routines depend on whether they have a gig or a tour planned or not. If they are going to give a concert soon, they are busy preparing. They have to meet with their band and rehearse for hours. Then they travel a lot and have to be able to give their fans the performance they expect. Such a life is far from boring, however, it might be also exhausting. Even though I’m a teenager and I don’t have a job, my day is more regular than the day of a musician. The way my day looks gives me the feeling of security and I like it a lot.

Hi Marek,
I’ve just been to a fantastic concert of a contemporary rock band, the Dexters. The event took place last Friday in the local stadium near Oxford. It was a perfect location with a modern stage and a spacious parking lot.
The Dexters gave an amazing performance. At first, they played a few songs acapella and then a real orchestra joined them. There were people playing the trumpet, the trombone, the cello, the flute, and the violin.
What surprised me the most was that during the final song, a fan jumped onto the stage and proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes and everyone applauded the couple.
By the way, I have heard that the next concert of the Dexters is going to be in the hall in your city. Do you feel like going there with me? I hope you agree and we can enjoy the performance together.
