monday march 3, 2003: the trööte-konkours in Sittard


Today, monday, is the day of the traditional trööte-konkours in Sittard. All Herremeniekes (=bands) from Sittard and surroundings come to the Markt (=market-place) for the "battle of the bands". All is of course tongue-in-cheek: everyone wins, no-one loses. The whole market-place is crowded with spectators, merrily singing and dancing along. The weather was beatiful, a nice sunny day. This added to the merriness, of course. Like every year, the "battle" was concluded with a performance by "Trööt in de Gööt".
Hey, you came here by your own free will, don't you go complaining about broken tongues  :-)
