Bassoon2

Everybody felt surprised and somehow scandalized when it came to light that two instrumentalists, Austin (didgeridoo) and Archie (bassoon), play at weddings and other family events in a nearby village. Ryan,who used to play violin in the orchestra and plays lute for extra money in his spare time, involved Austin and Archie in playing this way. It’s not easy to find a symphony orchestra instrumentalist in such places. Moreover, they played with a group of instrumentalists you would not find in a symphony orchestra. There were Erica and Kate who played the lyre, Christine who played a lute, and Forrest who played a marimba. They all kept this secret for some time. It so happened however, that Archie’s friend, a xylophonist named Jeff, decided to marry Gwen (bells) and asked his fellow musicians for a favor: to play at their wedding. Somebody noticed Austin and Archie among the entertainers, and it triggered endless gossip and rumors. However, the grudge did not last for long. It came into view that Austin and Archie performed this way to collect money for a good cause. There was a big theft in the town and several kids lost their bikes. Austin and Archie decided to give compensation to the kids for a loss of their treasures. Now nobody in the orchestra lectures them anymore, but everybody pitches in some coins and bills. Will they continue? Would they stop playing?
