Beep beep beep. That intrusive annoying sound that vans and trucks make when reversing. It s deliberately designed to make you grind your teeth and take notice. This is useful as several tons of metal come your way, with the intent to crush, maim or cause serious injury. Trucks and delivery vans come into our loading bay often, it s a bit of a cathedral space really, there s a huge roller door that makes a sound like an army tank as it rolls itself up, I don t know how the neighbours stand it, surely they ve complained. When a 3 ton truck reverses its way in, the sound echoes and bounces around the space like a rubber ball. The air is filled with deisel fumes which take several minutes to dissipate. I wonder how toxic the atmosphere is?
The boys from Kent removals are all keenly dressed in company uniform. Tight shorts like the footballers used to wear and brown sleeveless tank tops with the Kent Logo over the left breast pocket. They dart, graceful as hummingbirds, on their various tasks.
They have each area of the lorry carefully compartmentalised for the military manouver of moving the orchestra. Tympanies and Harps go in first. The harps are in regular rectangular boxes , each as tall as a footballer. The tympanies are in square boxes with wooden panelling and are easily moved on wheels. The double basses always present a problem. It s almost like having to pick up a person. The shoulders and waist of the double bass case just don t allow any easy purchase. All of these things are wheeled to their normal storage position across from the rehearsal hall. The store room is lit with a hundred fluorescent lights so it feels like you re in a convenience store. Why are those lights so bright? Is it to discourage robberies. It s so bright in here everyone can see what s going on. Nobody will be stealing stuff from the orchestral store. You need security plus to get in there. Front door, then another set of doors, carefully opened by the magnetic security pass, all logged with your name.
