How did you hear about theMouthPiece.com ...? please answer.

[TheMusicMan]

Hi All

Some of you might have seen my recent advertisement in the latest edition of Brass Band World magazine... or maybe not as the case may be...!! :?

However, would you mind selecting an option from the above - it is all valuable information for me and will undoubtedly help determine which is the best way for me to promote theMouthPiece.com and try to grow our membership. The best way to get interesting, stimulating, diverse and thought provoking discussion is through a wide and varied membership.

Hope you agree....

Please feel free to add comments if you select 'other' from the above list. It's ALWAYS good to know how people hear about us.

Thanks in advance ... :D

[rutty]

You'd been busy posting in our guestbook... :wink:

Prize for the best guess...

[Fishsta]

I found the link on Besses O'th' Barn (http://www.besses.co.uk) Band's guestbook on their website.

[Roger Thorne]

I found the link on United Crewe Co-op Band's web-site.

[Raspberry]

No more seriously we should ask how does sparkling quavers know him?

[hornblower]

Dave Jake told me about it as he knows I spend all day working on computers and so I'm glad of a diversion every now and then!

[satchmo shaz]

I saw it on IBEW and then posted a link to all my banding friends!

[Singapore Northern Lass]

I saw it on Ever Ready's guestbook! :D

[Brian]

I was sat in a bar in Bangkok and one of the Trombone players in our quintet said " have you seen that new forum page " look it up ,you will appreciate it....Brian

[Singapore Northern Lass]

Maybe my link on the expatsingapore website worked then Brian!


Finally changed my avatar to a Crimbo one!!!!!!!! :lol:

[TheMusicMan]

Hi Folks

Some members have said they have seen mention of theMouthPiece.com on the excellent 4barsRest site. Can anyone veryify this for me please? has anyone seen mention of us on 4BR? If so, can you give a reference.

If it is true, most grateful to our guys at 4BR for the mention... :D

Thanks.

[Salli]

I couldn't really fail to notice it - my other half is practically permanently on the forum. I think he's hooked! :roll:

Oh well, as he often reminds me, he could be down the pub! :lol:

[Hilary Mateer]

I saw the link to your site on the MSN Brass Band forum which doesn't seem to have many posts at the moment.
This site is a lot more lively

[twigglet]

I heard about this site from my musical director. I have to say it is terribly addictive, but fun fun fun

[Mr Smiler]

I found the link on our band's website guestbook. This one was one I could understand, some of the other entries on the guestbook leave me wondering what goes through the minds of some of these cerebrally challenged people - the trouble is half of them are in our cornet section!!

Sorry guys..... :wink:

Super_sop said I had to go on here.
So I did & the rest is history!

[barnybeebop]

nick cornock told me to come on and upset the basses, they'd been giving him grief. So far all I've done is slate him, he deserves it. :D

[nickcornock]

I heard about tMP from Dannielle or 'Dan' as she is known on here.

As for Little Hitler above me (BarnyBeebop) hes got far too much to say for himself .If you're wondering, I think the Beebop bit comes from what comes out the bell of his cornet......mostly splits!. :lol:

[Maestro]

Nick Cornock promised he would never try and give me a drum lesson if I joined the forums.

Nick asked me yesterday what beebop was for, although I have spelt it wrong because barny"bebop" was already taken as an hotmail account.

It's a type of jazz man!! Even the Maestro was asking Nick what it was, some Maestro. And I thought they were supposed to be Muscians. DOH!!

[Maestro]

Just thought that the "bebop" bit on the end of it made you sound like a girly Band mate. Or should that be matess !!! :shock:

[PeterBale]

Hello, I play with Chichester City Band and I heard about this site from my sister (Dan) and Mike Saville.

I can't wait to get posting - Love the Banders Story!!!

[Dan]

Tough in that most of tash's pictures have her in various indecent poses! :wink:

Ha, Ha!!! Most of the pictures we were trawling through had various members of Chichester City (no names!) with pants on their heads! Of course, whilst also being extremely drunk, on the coach on the way back from a contest! And to boot, all the members of the band sporty lovely shiny nail varnish on their fingers - opps - here is an example.

You strange lot!!!!!!!!! :wink:

[Fuzzhead]

By our very own Roger Thorne! :)

[Soppy]

Through a joke (sort of!)

There was a piece of old music we were playing, and it said it was published or something be the mouthpiece. I asked what it was and our MD said it used to be a popular magazine.
We were all taking the p*** out of it, and saying about how it could be used on 'Have I Got News for You', but I wondered if it had a forum, as I'd been looking for a BB forum for a while. I searched, and this is what I got!!!

I was seaching Google for information about the Folkestone contest and somehow accidentally came across a link to the Mouthpiece. Once I started reading, I was hooked. :D

[HBB]

Thats the problem ... it's far too easy to neglect coursework, and read tMP! :D

[JessopSmythe]

must've missed this thread somehow.
I was told about this site by the seemingly infinite number of Wem players when I helped out on a job or two with them.

[bagpuss]

I was told about this site by the seemingly infinite number of Wem players when I helped out on a job or two with them.

You know that factoid that you're never more than 6 feet away from a rat at any time??? Similar thing is true about Wem players/explayers/someone who knows someone who once played for Wem. I personally saw the light when told by a certain Mr. Thorne.

No similarities to be drawn between Wem players and Rats/vermin please :lol: :lol: Having said that, there have been some 'creatures' on stage with us in the past :lol: :lol: :lol:

Someone made a post referencing tMP so I checked it out and here I am. Spouting off about things I know nothing about. :wink:

[jambo]

Lauradoll pointed me in the direction of tMP. Well done moderators, very amicable. :shock:

[bruceg]

Our conductor happened across it after some random web searching then I found that our rep player (James McFadyen) is a regular. Totally cool site that I'm gonna feel obliged to contribute to financially any day now...

P.S. The mods do a great job keeping things friendly.

[MAW]

:D

Glad I did, it's shown me that there's not just me thats unbalanced and bonkers!! :hammer

[robbie]

[ian perks]

Told by ex player of our band (GRESLEY OLD HALL)

STEVE HILL

[Chuckles-tuba]

My good friend Jules Cornet mentioned it to me

[trumpetmike]

Flugel Gal mentioned it in another forum and I thought I would add it to my list of forums I now find myself in (this is number 5, I think).
She is to blame!!

I am to blame for many many things (allegedly...)

Incidentally, perhaps I'm "bait" - our MD told the audiences at our recent concerts that he is sending me over to Ireland as bait to bring back a certain cornet player...... :shock:

[eckyboy]

Heard about it from our Conductor and now we have it linked on our website--couldnt do without it now

[Lil Miss]

heard it from "another band colleague", not mentionin any soprano players name.....

[cujo_134]

Found it through a google search

[kiwiposaune]

I found it purely by accident - I was looking for a particular trombone mouthpiece and when I couldn't find it through any of my usual sources I tried typing in themouthpiece.com to see what happened - lucky accident - still haven't found the JK 3AL I was looking for!

[basspower]

I'm sure I've posted in here already but it's telling me I haven't...anyway, same as him ^ (except it was my conductor, not his), and we have it linked in our website too! :p

[JDH]

Mentioned on another brass discussion form

[Mister 4x4]

Google - typed in 'Euphonium Forums.' Got bumped over to 8notes.com and found a link to here in the "Does anyone play Euphonium?" thread.

Works for me.

[Daisy Duck]

One of the front row cornet players in my band mentioned it.

[BbBill]

Morv from Black Dyke mentioned it last year when she was back in Campbeltown

[DaveR]

I heard about tMP from another member - MartinT. Since then, I've become pretty addicted and spend all day on here! It can only be a matter of time before my boss asks why I haven't done any work for the last few months.....

[Aussie Tuba]

I found a link While browsing the City of Birmingham Brass Band Web site

[Alisop]

stumbled across the website after typing in schilke soprano into google. Glad I found it and have recomended it to other people in my band.

[Ruthless]

I was press-ganged into it - I had to join.....it was the only way I was going to be allowed to play at cornetgirls wedding!!!

.....am so glad I am too!!!

[rossy67]

i was searching the internet looking for a forum for brass band players...and hey presto there u were :)

[vonny]

I came across tmp purely by chance - but I am so glad I did. Wow tmp is sooo priviledged to be graced with my presence - don't you think? ;)

[cornethorn_e_babe]

Someone mentioned it in Band in January, forgot about it then search brass band vacacnies on google and found the site

[chizzum]

in a band discussion

[horn-girlie]

hmm cant remember!!and it wasnt even that long ago! i think someone on here must have told me about it ... at some point! so yeah, 'general word of mouth' for me!

[Mofman]

tMP was mentioned to me in the pub after rehearsal by my previous band. It's also advertised in BrassedOn and there's a link to tMP on our bands website (VBS Poynton) www.poyntonband.co.uk for those interested.

[steve_r]

Since I am married to Di (mumsie) and dad of vickitorious a better question would be "when did you last NOT hear about TMP" :-)

- I ticked 'other'

Steve

[2nd man down]

Now you'll see how nasty and cruel she can be since she had "the power" bestowed upon her! ;)

Steve, you must be one helluva bloke! respect. :biggrin:

[Di]

Thats it, have another pop at Mumsie, and stick up for the blokes. :mad:

Oh and by the way?








































Topic!

[Steve]

When the going gets tough, Mumsie gets topicing ;)

[tpcornet12]

I voted that a band colleague told me about you but thinkin now I do seem to remember tMP at whit friday a couple of years ago and thinking "what the...?"
no offence..... it was very entertaining, can't remember what you played but don't think it was in my march book!!

[bardsandwarriors]

I chose 'other', as I used google to look for uk brass band forums. I examined a few of the most popular ones, and I decided to join this one! I have since told a few people about tMP, so they should be ticking 'told by a colleague' if they ever get here :)

[Dave 2nd2nd Cornet]

I found the tMP link on ibew.

[Not_Jus_An_Object]

hmm, think it was bromsgrove brass band summer school... a certain cornet player

[Bass Man]

My Ma (Singapore Northern Lass) told me about tmp

[flower girl]

2nd man down, he wouldn't stop nagging. He even sorted out my account for me

[annieds]

Found it by accident whilst looking for something else - probably an article on instant lip flexibility without effort or pain. Good site, though. I think I'll stay

[Lawrencediana]

Fartycat kept on about the forum so I thought I should investigate. Its a great site. Keep up the good work.:clap:

[Cyndy]

Found you on ibew site

[Lotta]

we stumbled across this site on another site! When the band started, we did a search on our band name and there was something about us on here

Great site!!

[steve butler]

Auto suggestion I think, never new what they were on about at band when they kept mentioning "the mouthpiece" thought it must be some God of the band world, then some young men in dark suits came a knocking at my door and I was shown the light, the correct path. Conversion was complete, but my what a strange place it is at times, some contributors seem to speak a strange new tongue, can't everyone just be normal, like me?

[Leyfy]

another music teacher mentioned it to me - bizarrely enough a flautist! lol

[Magic Flute]

Lol! Fame at last! ;) :biggrin:
Good to see you at Stevenage!

[fuzzyduck]

I heard about the site from someone in our band. It was a good find as I can idle away the day looking through past threads when I'm supposed to be working.

[MISS PITCH]

GREAT SITE --- found out from people at my band a while ago --- but then went to dep for another band -- and i think they are addicted! it is after a while.... :S

FAye x

[hellyfrost]

I found you on IBEW which is well worth a visit.

same here!

[SuperMosh]

Ian Perks encouraged me to join - since then a few of Gresley Band have come on board.

[MHunt]

I simply did a google search for British brass band forums and this is one of the first that came up. Good choice too, nice friendly site.

Many thanks for the kind words. Hope you enjoy contributing.:p

I heard about the Mouthpiece via one or two other band members a short while since, but being very much a forum hog on the net, I left joining for a while, as being on forum admin' on a poetry forum (yes I write poetry) as well as a member on some other general topic forums, I felt I had enough on my plate as it was. Then last week I am voted in as press officer for Darwen Brass. So decided it was about time to come along and say hello.

Hello and welcome to tMP! :)
we used to have some rhyming threads in our Random and Off Topic forum. Maybe you can revive them ;)

[brassica]

I have some friends who are complete anoraks and have been coming on here for years - I still only post on the games but might work up the courage for other threads eventually. Good fun site thought!
