"And The Band Played On.."

The Titanic smashed into the iceberg.
Screams broke out along with utter pandemonium.
Nevertheless, the men with their instruments in their tidy little suits, sat upright, swallowed hard, and with swift acceptance began playing the most heartfelt rendition of “Nearer My God To Thee” they’d ever played or known before…

and then all was silent.

"And The Band Played On.." belongs to the following groups:

Hey thanks you all. Looking at this..I seriously couldn’t think of a suitable title for it.
All I kept seeing was the Titanic! (And if you use your imagination you can even see it
hitting the iceberg. ;) Well..it’s what I saw, so it’s what I named it..
Thanks for checking it out!

This was the first picture I just looked at, after having a browse of the NIDA programs for this year. (Still with me?) Well, my daughter works at NIDA and attended the Macdonald college for the performing arts, before going to uni.
When I saw your text and this strong picture, for a moment I was back beside the buildings that the Macdonald college first used and where so much young talent blossomed, in old railway yard buildings beside the railway lines, at Strathfield.
I guess only other parents of kids who attended there will understand how I see the contrast between the building(s), such as the one you captured and the singing, acting, dancing, painting etc., talent that was developed there.
I’ll go and have my coffee now! Thanks for bringing back that memory.
