No score or music provided

Neat start, and super sop!! Nice bell canto effects...Gorgeous Euphonium, glorious sound (but you know I know that eh)

4/4 section well played... Euph solo well played... very tight playing from all the band in this opening section.

Sop Solo: well played, some minor blips, but great production, well supported by rest of band. Super Euph - again...

Good dynamic contrast in next section - but it is difficult when I don't have a score to refer to sorry.

Cornet Solo well played, though some tuning on lower cts is heard. Flugel slightly sharp! Cornet - well played on your solo line... you sustain the top notes wonderfully... nice one :tup

Next Section: good tight start... cornet ensemble well controlled, percussion slightly too loud... Basses well supported, nice big full sound forming superb foundation. Good bell effect... excellent dynamic, you have a wonderful range, slower 6/8 (or is it 12/8 - no score) section very mellow... excellent sounds closing here... lovely chords and huge sound to close.

very well played... must be in with a shout of a podium placing there...
