THE LONG DAY
And in the end we were overwhelmed by a Monsoon

Night, morning, evening, night and again … Well, now for hours, the chronicle of a truly incredible Friday for Modena. The notes of four young stars.

Modena, July 12, 2008. They say that the female is the weaker sex. But when the stakes are high, even the teenage girls pull off a fighting spirit that not you expect. I arrived in twenty thousand (17 thousand tickets sold, more fathers, mothers and various friends …) for the Tokio Hotel concert at Parco Novi Sad. They braved the burning sun, the crowd remained to wait at Parco Novi Sad day and night. And in the end have realized their dream of teenagers. But at what price: dozens, if not hundreds of fainting, fatigue snervante, long waits under the sun … A day really ‘hot’, for them and who had to accompany and assist.

Bill, Tom, George and Gustav were up on stage around 9:45PM in a show of lights. Their hairstyles, in the shadows, gave a thrill to the thousands of fans below them, which has turned into pure excitement when they intoned their pieces Strengths: Scream, Black, Don’t Jump and of course the famous Monsoon. A concert really ‘with flakes’. Powder with stars on the night of wishes.

But the night before, between Thursday and Friday, almost 400 fans stayed outdoors, lined along the serpentine path, lookouts in dormiveglia, careful not to lose the place earned through days and days of waiting at Parco Novi Sad. We among them, without disturbing too. In the morning we find them still there, with their faces a little ‘tense, “she” wear, but in fibrillation. “They said that the gates will open at 5:00PM - relate -. But where are they? “.

A few hours later, the delirium. Parents can not do more to see their girls just faint under the sun, and begin to put pressure, demanding loudly that the gates are open. Some girl feels bad, water and sugar is the recipe of paramedics. But the line is beginning to become very long, the sun beats increasingly strong. Islam also firemen who, with their water cannons give a little ‘coolness of the many fans, “Thank you, thank you” shouting in unison.

At 2:30PM staff gives the green light. Nor were a magic formula, the teenagers will take over all, bring the turbo and sow parents running straight toward the stage. The first manage to enter the ‘grave’, a transennata which seems a little ‘as the raft of luck when the ship sinks: if there six, you win. But the heat not truce even there, indeed, the crowds that you create in a few minutes ago that island become a happy ‘lazzaretto’, full of girls who lose the senses. Fortunately, the civil protection facilities, logistics and the three points at the sides of the stage prove useful for those who feel bad. Pity then, return nell’Olimpo there is not so easy.

Let’s go back outside, and crossed the municipal councillor policies youth John Franco Orlando. With him commented what remains of the camps, would say a large mass of waste. “We hope that the fans use their boxes scattered nell’anello of Novi Sad.” And, casting their gaze inside, we notice that indeed they did, but for sedercisi above.

Shortly after beginning to get several police vans. It approaches the hour of the concert and atmosphere is getting warmer, there are common illnesses repeating them, even if no firemen rest a moment. The teams’ travel to all spying. Then, finally, at about 8PM guitars, the voice of Lost and later the dark charm of Bill Kaulitz and companions. There are those who are locked in under the stage, but whoever the concert looks from the outside, behind the fences. The monsoon is past, warmer than usual.
