Upon seeing the conclusion of the San Sierran part of the festival, Kaiser Ludwig claps and smiles. A wonderful performance, he thinks to himself, but the real show starts here. He stands up and walks towards the stage. His guards behind him, jumping back into their armor and following him. As they near the stage, the guards step off to the side and remain near the back of the stage while Kaiser Ludwig walks up to the front and pulls out a microphone, a couple of men in green-grey uniforms with gold trimming behind him setting up chairs and stands.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed leaders of the world,” Ludwig starts, “we gather here, not for any political reason, or diplomatic reason, but of a celebratory one. We come here today to show the best that our nations have to offer, what we our people have crafted, and what we hold dear to our hearts. And what we in Ostaria hold dear is both military ceremony and a good bit of music.” He steps back and motions towards a stage, now full of men and women in the same green-grey uniforms with white caps on, holding various instruments. “I am proud to introduce to you all the Ostarian Army Field Band, playing the Ostarian Boogie.” Ludwig turns the mic off and steps off the stage.
As he steps away, the conductor initiates the trumpet section, which begin the song by playing a few loud, separated introductory notes that lead off to a quiet symbol tapping over a clarinet and saxophone pair playing some quick, but quiet notes that are occasionally interrupted by trumpet blasts. The saxophone and clarinet are joined by another pair of the same instruments and the tune gets louder and intensifies. The saxes and clarinets start to slow down and drag their notes some until 4 trumpet blasts play in quick succession and decrescendo off into trombones that play the same tune, now interrupted by saxes and clarinets rather than trumpet blasts. The whole band then starts to play the whole tune together, their notes forming into a loud, interloping chorus that almost seems to swing around irregularly. The audience can begin to see some of the performers almost swinging in their seats as the tune gets jumpier and the notes get more separated. One last rendition of the final tune is played, louder than all sections previously until the clarinets and trumpets perform a few last notes that lead off into the end, the performers all smiling. The conductor instructs them all to stand up. The entire band stands at attention, though still smiling, and bows.
