  "The group has many colleagues who love music, but there is no formal band. The 10 clubs just gave us an opportunity to form a band." As the leader of the band, Chen Gang has a mature and steady personality, playing the role of "big head".

  After some "recruitment", Chen Gang, Zhang Shijun, Yang Tiantian, Zhang Tao, Sheng Rongda, and Jiang Fan formed the "Bus Band", including guitarists, keyboard players, lead singers, drummers and bass players. Every holiday, I go to the bus station and station to play for the drivers and passengers.

  None of the band members came from a major, nor did they have professional teachers to guide them. The age span even includes the three generations of "post-70s", "post-80s" and "post-90s". They encountered many problems during the initial run-in.

With their love for music, they worked together to overcome difficulties one after another.

  The "post-90s" electric guitarist Sheng Rongda and drummer Zhang Tao joined the Huzhou Public Transport Group at the end of 2020, and "zero foundation" joined the band.

Introverted, they never thought that they would be able to perform on stage one day.

I am interested in doing support, and I just think about how to practice hard and keep up with the progress of my teammates." Sheng Rongda told reporters that after joining the work, the time was reduced. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can not only enrich my spare time life, but also learn a favorite art.

  Zhang Tao, who was "obsessed" with bands since he was a child, even said bluntly that music plays a very important role in his life. "In a new position, you must try new things, and you want to make a breakthrough in things you usually dare not do. I enjoy it very much." The atmosphere of the band, in addition to being more 'burning' and 'high', can bring a sense of guidance to the scene."

  Every Thursday night, the band members gather in the company's music rehearsal room to practice, over and over again, tirelessly.

  "At first I always asked for leave for rehearsals, and I thought about giving up. I was afraid that it would affect everyone's progress." Jiang Fan said, but whenever he learned a new piece and performed on stage with the team members, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, "Listen I was very proud to hear the applause from the audience.”

  For Yang Tiantian, music is more like a way to decompress. "I am very much looking forward to every rehearsal, immersing myself in music, so that I can fully relax." She said that although the grassroots management is very busy, everyone They are all very willing and active to participate in rehearsals.

  As Chen Gang said, "There is no way to force music, you must like it from the bottom of your heart."

  Among the existing songs, there are relatively few songs praising "transit people". The band has tried to show the content of public transportation by adapting lyrics before, hoping to send encouragement and warmth to every "transit person".

  Zhang Shijun, a keyboard player who has learned saxophone, guitar and other instruments since he was a child, is currently trying to arrange music by himself. In his opinion, music can give him a sense of rhythm. There are more types of music, so I can better understand the positioning of music.”

  Zhang Shijun bluntly said that everyone who likes music wants to create their own works, "Currently our ability has not reached the level of arranging or writing songs, but I believe that in the near future, the band can also create their own music. Works, continue to play the wonderfulness that belongs to 'Bus Man'." (End)
