BANDSTAND

The Cubbon park has a wonderful forum where people can show off their talents.

this structure is like a 'treasure house' of fond memories for most Bangaloreans.

Many trained professionals have danced, sang & spoken at this hub of cherished performances. This spot at Cubbon park is brimming with excitement on weekends. In terms of sight i noticed that the main performances at bandstand are on weekends and not on weekdays, as a lot more people will be available as audience. in terms of sound I noticed that on weekdays there is almost complete silence. There are a very few people around the bandstand during this time. However, on weekends, I could hear the music from the performers on stage from a mile away, a little chitter-chatter from the audience and a lot of cheering after the performance was heard.  During the weekdays, this area felt very ordinary. When I would touch the stage, the chars or even the ground below my feet I would feel very ordinary. However, on weekends I could feel the vibrations of the loud music from the performance throughout this space.

It's quite interesting to observe this particular "space". It is just an elevated platform whose whole meaning changes when there are artists performing on it. With the presence of performers, the landmark changes from just a "platform" to a"stage".
