The theme for this week's photohunt is entertainment.
A navy band playing beautiful tunes on the Spanish Steps in Rome.
Piazza Spagna is normally packed with people, but it was even more so for the special entertainment.
Thanks for visiting, and happy weekend everyone.

Wow, what a huge band! The Spanish Steps are entertaining anytime but you were lucky to be there that day.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Candi, wonderful photos and a great choice for this week's entertainment theme. Everytime I see the Spanish Steps, I think of Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck!
Have a great weekend!

What a dapper looking band! And funny but true: the second photo of the Spanish steps remind of the steps near the ruins of St Paul's Church in Macau!

it's interesting to see a navy band entertaining the crowd at the other side of planet.

listening to music especially if from a band's music is really entertaining, here are other entertaining things:

Great shots Candi!
I have to admit that every time I see the Spanish steps I am left rather underwhelmed - now had this band been there it might have been different!
Have a super weekend.

Hi Candi!
Great photos! That must have been so cool to see in person. I almost posted photos of the band I saw play in Florence but will save them for another post.
I have checked out most of your blog posts I missed while in Italy. What fun you had with the elephants! I need to go back when I have more time to read them again.
