A trip to a music festival.
Last weekend I went to Samara region. There was a big musical festival called "MetaFest". I played at this festival with my colleagues by music band. Our group is called "Табор" and it means something like "A gypsy camp". We don't play gypsy music in fact, our style is closer to acoustic rock. There are 8 people in the band. Our singer plays acoustic guitar. I play flute, sax, and clarinet. Our percussion player also sings backing vocal. Also there are a drummer, a bass player, a cellist, an accordionist, and a solo-guitarist in our band. But the last one didn't go to the festival because he had should to play an another concert at the same time.
We travelled in a minivan VW Transporter. Samara region is about 1000 kilometres from Moscow (We all live in Moscow and Moscow Region). The place where the festival was is the same place with the most famous bard festival in Russia called "Грушинский фестиваль". We started our trip on Friday evening at 22 o'clock. Our goal was to arrive to the place at 1:00 pm. In this time our soundcheck should be started. We delayed only for half an hour. The trip was long, we sang songs, talked a lot, played in some kind of the "road" games etc. Also, I repeated my Spanish lessons and at the same time I taught for our driver some basics Spanish. She was a good student, and after 500 km she was able to understand simple Spanish sentences. For example, like these ones.
Después yo fui a la tienda para comprar comida. Luego mi marido vino a casa de su concierto y nosotros comimos juntos en casa de mis padres.
The festival place met us with a warm summer temperature. After the soundcheck we went to the Volga for a swim. The water was perfect. It was the first time this year when I swam outdoor. Our performance was planned on 19:20. When the time had come, we made a great show. The audience was excited!
On the next midday we started to home. I arrived home only on Monday at 8:45 and I was very tired. But everybody of us liked this trip. I wrote a long report about this journey in Russian. And if you would like, I can send you the link to this report.

Cool. I used to be the bass player in a small American rock band. It was great fun. I can relate to your experiences on the road.
Good descriptions. I'm an American, so usually we use the 12-hour time format. A few other grammar mistakes, but otherwise good job.
