"Competition" "Part 1 If There Was No Music" "That's it" "Let's start." "The accompaniment, yes it should be elegant, all right?" "Every one of you needs to hear the soloist clearly" "If you can't hear him, you're aren't playing right" "Machuto, you there, try not to lose it" "If it's not there..." "Mr Stela, more effort." "Are you asleep?" " What's the problem?" " We had a party" "I see." "After a party you're going to feel like sleeping" "I felt like sleeping on Friday morning too..." "I just felt sick and tired" "Everything I saw was disgusting, especially the drunkards" "OK, let's start..." "The organ." "Go ahead" "Go" "Wait a minute." "The Lachian Serenade." "Do you know where Lachia is?" " No" " Well, I believe it's where Janacek was born" " Janacek." "Hukvaldy" "And what Janacek wrote..." "Do you know?" "That's the connection - the Lachian Dances" "So this is the Lachian Serenade" "Josef Lastuvka who comes from Ostrava and is a professor at some music school academy..." "We've sent him our programme." "He's happy we're playing it" "We're going to play it beautifully." "Come on" "We're going to play well." "Every one of us is a soloist" "Stop..." "The lower tones..." "Nicely, with a round full tone" "Stop." "Softer" "Right, once more" "Stop." "I can hear a comb here, not a clarinet..." "Hold it" "Let them rest a minute" "Let's try that accompaniment." "It's no big deal..." "Right after the seconda volta you play this bar." "Let's start" "I'll count one bar ahead." "One, two..." "Careful." "There isn't always time for..." "There isn't always time for it so keep an eye on that" "Once more..." "The accompaniment" "The melody there..." "One, two..." "Stop." "Someone is getting impatient" "You're close with the E flat." "I don't want to exhaust the soloist" "The flute, like a violin, nice and smooth" "You've got to feel it." "You have to put your heart into it" "Not to mention conjuring up a tune out of a French horn" "Every musician has to be young at heart, which we are." "Right, Kasik?" "You see, we still like girls, even if our hair is thinning" "But we don't care about that." "Our beauty is the hidden kind" "The trombones on the side, too" "There are two crotchets there, don't be afraid" " That was out of tune" " Yes, out of tune." "Always remember what Mr Nornez says, "If you're going to play out of tune..." ""...better not to play at all." Someone else can play it" "If there are others who play the instrument, they'll take your place" "So if you're out of tune better not to play at all" "You're lying." "You're lying" "I can't forgive you." "I don't know how much religion affects your opinion, but this isn't true" "You can't sleep" "Yes, that's true." "Kucera is dying to start" "There is an oooh" "Blast it!" "Too high." "Don't tremble with these long notes..." "Higher..." "With the long notes you mustn't go..." "While we've stopped, guys..." "I've said a couple of times if we want to work collectively, we have to think collectively" "Everywhere we go we say, "You still have the old guys" ""Why don't you bring in some new guys?" I won't deny this" "You know the story." "But I would like to remind the younger members that if the lead musicians, the devoted ones like Machacek who drives 15 miles, or Solnar, 6 miles some ride several miles on bike others walk straight from work, from farms, from factories..." "So when one of the younger members doesn't turn up for any reason well, what kind of attitude is that towards the group as a whole?" "And we have such cases here." "We must deal with them because times have changed and all of you surely want to play" "All of us have a job, a hobby" "But music is the most beautiful hobby of all" "Music ennobles people, especially when it's played" "Not to mention the pints and pipes and all the rest" "Rhythm, and tuning." "These are the basics" "You'll handle the technical side afterwards" "You know why we're playing tomorrow." "Kmoch's Kolin is our main concern" "We're playing Kmoch's music, carrying on the tradition and our name will be associated with it" "We're at a bit of a disadvantage in that we don't have that tradition" "And so we have to put in a lot of effort and by giving a good performance, and better performances still we will become well established with a good name" "Therefore the fire brigade band..." "They can play whatever way they like, but our performance will be the best" "It's up to every one of you." "We know who didn't attend rehearsals" "We're not going to play the way we used to" "Or as we did in the old days." "It's not possible." "So, once again..." "Only lemonade before and after" "We need clear, alert minds, and finally..." "Clear heads" "No overeating" "I don't want to hear any growling" "So do it well" "I don't want anyone turning up late or not showing up" "Should you be in a hospital bed, you will still get here" "Otherwise we'll come and get you" "You know how the situation is with brass bands today and how many people would like to get rid of them" "Let's show them there's no putting an end to us" "And I believe I'm right." "I'm speaking for all of you" "You are doing this just because you love our beautiful Czech music" "Not like this." "Simply..." "As if it was an obvious thing for us." "We have a certain name and we are the big guys." "Look at our muscles and there's blood flowing in our veins." "Let's go!" "No breath" "Thanks." "We'll just play the finale for that half tone." "Nicely." "Don't force it" "That's about all" "Three, and..." "It is a really noble and courageous act that with the town of Kolin a wide circle of our other musicians pay tribute to the heritage of Frantisek Kmoch" "They cherish and look after it and champion this legacy" "It would be a big mistake now and for the future of our national culture and music culture if we underrated the values Kmoch created and if we underestimated the acts and initiatives by which he affected the progress of our nation" "A lot of conductors of folk brass bands who take a hopeless view of development and the future put down their batons too early" "They lose their faith and that's a great shame" "Their duty is to look for new ways forward, collectively and individually and to fight for the future of folk brass music" "Luckily for our music, there are musicians and bandmasters who stay true to the tradition and who are looking for new ways ahead" "They guarantee to bring folk brass music to new heights" "Harmonica, first saxophone" "Second saxophone." "Ivan" "Third, Pepik" "Second trumpet, first trumpet, contrabass, drums" " Blumental, don't sit down, you can go" " Why?" "You didn't play at Kmoch's Kolin where we played for free so you're not going to play for money either." "So you can go" "Why?" "We won't argue about it now." "We'll settle this later" " You can leave" " Are you kicking me out?" "No, I'm not kicking you out." "God forbid, Blumental!" "But see, you must realise that the older members, our fathers got up early just to play at the Second Kmoch's Kolin and you deign to come to a rehearsal where we are playing for money" "No, I won't let you." "You're only here to earn money and the others can play for free." "Don't blame me, it isn't possible" "You either make music for the love of it or for money" "Or both" "Well, we'll continue without Blumental" "Goodbye, then" "I don't understand." "A musician's heart - heart and soul" "A man must be enthusiastic about such things" "Then you won't even think about not turning up" "Where would we be if we all acted like this?" "What if other members did the same?" "I don't know." "We can't work like this" "It's impossible" "I like young people who are enthusiastic about music" "There is nothing in the world that is more beautiful than music" "But you certainly have different ideas" "I've done enough persuading." "Pack up your stuff and go and follow your heart." "We don't need you here" "Go!" "I don't want to see you here any more" "And you be careful." "Pull yourself together because if you don't change, you'll be following his lead" "You know how I like young people" "There is no other way in music" "Let's start, guys" "See you" "Hopefully not" "Come on, boys, we haven't got time to lose" "Get the tone right." "We're accompanying the deceased on a final journey" "We're not playing for anybody to shed tears but let the relatives cry." "They've paid for it." "Come on" "Stop!" "Can you play any more out of tune so the corpse wakes up?" " We've always played it like this" "Yes, for 50 years, and all wrong." "Wait a minute" " Welcome" " Thank you" " What's your name?" " Blumental" " And you've been playing...?" " For a year and a half" "I'd forgotten, boys, this is our new member, a young one" " Do you know scales?" " Not too well" "OK." "Remember, scales are a musician's alphabet" "And this" "First of all, love, endurance and only then do you get this..." "All right?" "Just repeat that to yourself" "So guys, once more." "Grave!" "You know what "grave" means" "Slowly." "Ceremonially." "Come on" "This is my glass What I care for most" "At midnight when she's had her measure" "She joins in the dance" "And she sings merrily" "If it weren't for the good old band" "I'd own many a house and land" "With gardens of roses fair" "I'd walk with my nose in the air" "As sweet music played to me" "As pretty girls waved to me" "I didn't keep anything for myself, not I" "I won't take it with me to heaven when I die" "If it weren't for the good old band" "I'd own many a house and land" "With gardens of roses fair" "I'd walk with my nose in the air" "As sweet music played to me" "As pretty girls waved to me" "I didn't keep anything for myself, not I" "I won't take it with me to heaven when I die" "If it weren't for the good old band" "I'd own many a house and land" "With gardens of roses fair" "I'd walk with my nose in the air" "As sweet music played to me" "As pretty girls waved to me" "Part II Competition" "Jack, queen, king, and ace" "We'll play for first place" "Come and play cards with us" "You can without a fuss" "We'll play for violets" "Or for the wide blue yonder" "For the Eiffel Tower or some pub" "Hearts, diamonds and clubs" "Jack, queen, king, and ace" "We'll play for first place" "Come and play cards with us and win" "The film was shot in authentic locations with a 16mm camera" "I remember the girl who served us  had a mole on her face" "Should you ever mention again  what all those girls had and when and why..."

"Somebody asked at the beginning of this programme  whether Jonas really lived or if we made him up" "I'd like to add that Jonas lived, lives  and will always live" "We won't do anything about it" "Stop." "Do you mind?" "We're in a rehearsal here" "Now all of a sudden you have plenty to say" "And you by the door, either come in or stay out." "Close the door and be quiet" "Jirka, please, start with this" "I remember the girl who served us had a mole on her face" "Look, should you ever mention again what all those girls had and when and why I'll clear out and leave" " OK." "So she didn't have anything" " Well, you see" " She did." "She did" "You bad boy" " Let me say something" " Go ahead" "What?" "In the beginning of this programme somebody asked whether Jonas really lived or if we made him up" "I'd like to add that Jonas lived lives and will always live" "That was just for the record" "We haven't seen Jonas since then, as the fair-haired guy said" "Since we know Jonas so well we can easily recognise what he is going to sing today" "There's an F sharp" "I know a little about those rounded calves" "I can't hear myself at all" "Oh, yes, we hear you."
