good luck and best wishes I wish the best of luck to all third section bands tomorrow. I hope you have enjoyed the challenge of the Three Ancient Customs. All the best. Richard Huw Cole
Much better, Paddy, but you and your league still failed to believe in an L&SC band, once again! Will there be revised oddss for the first section? PS Will you bu publishing your accounts anytime soon?
Thank you to all the bands today for the time and effort you have put in my work. I hope you enjoyed the contest as much as I did. Congratulations to Hitching and Craig Patterson, I though your performance was scintillating and the wassail effervescent. Also congratulations to Elland and Trinity who also gave very accomplished performances and really lifted the music off the page. If any of you are interested I the top four in exactly the same order as the adjudicators who did a magnificent job. Thank you all, I am truly humbled by the experience. Huw
A big weekend for the long shots, Hitchin, South Milford, Norfolk Wherry and Unite. None of them well fancied and in most if not all cases the fantasy league truly turned their collective backs on them driving the prices out even more. Not just Paddy taken by suprise
Well done to the winners, and to all the other bands and the organisers for a great day. I'm obviously disappointed by our result, but given the tricky circumstances we had in the build up I was really happy with our performance. We tried to take a sensible approach and be careful with dynamics (not like us!) but maybe should have 'gone for it' a bit more. Great experience for me and our young band, and we'll be back all the better for it. Met some great people and enjoyed the trip, we're part of a great brass band community!
