No Score or Music Available
Good confident start, and in tune!! well done. Nice bass sounds evident, but back row suffers tuning on long notes. Full ensemble produces a nice sound and the MD has stamped his authority on the style. Good stuff this. Excellent 'Fanfares' throughout, quaver passages could be more controlled, but still some very good playing. Big sounds into cornet solo which is played excellently with panache, sop has a few mishaps, but recovers well in duet. Again good accompaniment from remaining ensembles.
Another good start to movement, especially trombones. The band are playing really well here and enjoying themselves. Good horns - but be very careful with tuning, concentrate right to the very end. Percussion seems a bit to loud at the end but band produces a well rounded chord to finish.
A little corker this, and in my opinion would be awarded 1st prize for a very enjoyable performance of a very difficult piece of music.
