Story of Groopa
I'm Uroš Trstenjak, Director of Engineering at Databox from Ptuj, Slovenia, hobby developer of Groopa, and a proud member of the Wind Orchestra Talum Kidričevo for over 25 years.
A thank you to the orchestra
I developed Groopa as a gift to the Wind Orchestra Talum Kidričevo, a thank you for everything it has given me over the years. I grew up in this orchestra. I formed lifelong friendships, traveled to countless countries and cities, experienced more adventures and celebrations than I can count, played endless concerts and casual gigs, and never missed a rehearsal. It's hard to put into words how being part of our "brass band" shaped me. But if I had to try, it formed who I am. It calmed my mind when I needed it. It taught me what creativity means, what belonging feels like, what it means to take responsibility, to work hard, to build genuine friendships, to have fun and to live life fully.
Why Groopa?
We'd been discussing the idea for an app like this in the orchestra for years. For that, I sincerely thank my good friends, brothers Gregor and Tom Hajšek, both long-time loyal members of the orchestra. Now with Groopa, we manage the orchestra and all its events, from rehearsals to concerts, in one place, right from our phones. On one hand, this removes the burden of juggling different tools and methods. On the other, it strengthens the connection between members and their sense of belonging to the orchestra.
