Announcement: TEST THE NATION 2003

[Roger Thorne]

To all Mouthpiece Members,

I have contacted the BBC regarding their programme 'TEST THE NATION'. They are extremely interested in receiving applications from theMouthpiece.com members to make up a team of 50 musicians. (They currently have 15).

We have got to act very quickly with this to make sure we get our members on the show. So it will be a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED selection.

If you are interested in taking part then please send me an e-mail (not a private message) and I will send you the relevant application form.

The show is being broadcast live on the evening of Sunday, May 4th
The studio is based in Wembley, London.
Groups are being called for 15:30 – 16:00 hours for registration, briefings and supper.

They offer to cover all travel expenses (and accommodation for the Sunday night if applicable - remember Monday 5th is a Bank Holiday).


So if you wish to represent the Brass Band Movement via theMouthpiece.com send me an e-mail:

rogerthorne@thornesmusic.freeserve.co.uk

Do you think they'd pay my expences from Thailand ?

[PeterBale]

Do you think they'd pay my expences from Thailand ?

Maybe they would if you and Singapore Northern Lass could share a taxi!

Two Points..I wouldn't mind sharing a taxi with the young lady from Singapore, but have you seen the water taxi's in Thailand. They'd never let us up the Thames.. and secondly you get very wet..but in S.E.Asia it's hot so not a problem...unlike London

[sparkling_quavers]

ooooo interesting!

we have a concert on the 4th May though! :cry:

[Straightmute]

...and we have a contest and a concert!

May the 4th be with you, Roger.

[HBB]

Very, Very Poor Straight mute! :D:D:D

I'm interested :D not too far to travel, where is it??

[BoozyBTrom]

May the 4th be with you, Roger.

D

MR Mute. Prague has affected you in too serious a way.

[picju96]

D'ya have to be 18? I couldn't do it anyway, I'm gonna be Anna carrying the Banner, at a guide AGM.

[dyl]

I can't make it either - our second baby is due a few weeks later - a bit too close (or should that be too far!!!???) for comfort.

Best of luck anyway - I'll be watching.

[HBB]

Hope it's a good'n Dyl! :D And as cute as me (!) not[/deliberate joke! :lol:]

Our band was asked to do it, although that was 3 days before, a bit too close our our liking! :D the relationship thang!

Ben ;)

[BoozyBTrom]

[Roger Thorne]

Musicians will win hands down - but only with your help.

Do you want an application form?

Thanks for the message Elin. These people are very keen to get Mouthpiece members on the show.
But we only have a limited amount of time to get our applications in.

So what better place to have the first official Mouthpiece gathering than on Live Television.

We've had 345 views to the topic but I have only received 12 (TWELVE) e-mails asking for applications forms.

I'm sure we can do better than that.

Don't be shy - send your reply

:wink:

[Big Twigge]

I would love to Roger, but unfortunately that is my one weekend back in Leeds before the end of term and I must revise for my exams...don't worry I promise to watch you all (as long as you'll all still be my friends when you're famous! :wink: )

[neiltwist]

only problem with that roger is, that not everyone can go as it is such short notice. :(

[Roger Thorne]

only problem with that roger is, that not everyone can go as it is such short notice. :(

Absolutely - But how much notice do you need?

I appreciate that not everyone can go because of other committments, but 12 out of 500 in my opinion isn't short notice, its apathy.

This this is a golden opportunity to promote the Brass Band Movement and The Mouthpiece.com on National Live Television. (Incidentally the last programme shown was watched by over 10 million viewers)
We don't get chances like this everyday so again I would urge all you Bandsman/women who are not committed on the 4th May to apply for an application form.

There's still time to enter - so hurry.

:wink:

[jimothy]

Heather, of course i fancy it!!!!!!!!!

I've e-mailed Roger about this test the nation thingy too (whatever that is).

[neiltwist]

well, for such a large group of people, a few months is needed, not to mention the fact that people will register and then lose interest etc. I reckon there must only be about 100 people that check the site regularly.

[Roger Thorne]

I spent most of yesterday sending personal e-mails to the majority of people on this site who have not yet posted a message, to remind them that we still exist and to inform them about the BBC TV programme.

Hopefully they will respond soon.

:wink:

[neiltwist]

yes, unfortunately, there are only 270 people that have actually posted a message, so how many people of the 270 don't check etc.? it's still lame though.

if we were going to arrange a summer thing for august, we'd have to do it now, or maybe next spring. gives us a year, and maybe we can work around holidays?

[Roger Thorne]

I have just been speaking to Kirsty (the organiser) from the BBC.

John, Elin and I have allready been accepted onto the show.

She is begging me to get more Mouthpiece members to apply. What more can I say.


:wink:

[twigglet]

Come on everybody, free transport, free hotel if necessary!!

Plus we'll be on telly, what more can a girl want!

:wink:

[PeterBale]

I can't speak for all of those who have not responded, but I should imagine many of us have diaries which are very full. For me, with my SA commitments, Sundays can be difficult anyway, but having checked my diary, after this weekend the next free weekend I have is the 21/22 June, and the one after that is 2/3 August so, as Neil says, some of us do need a little bit of notice!

[neiltwist]

the fact it's in london means at least 6 hours travelling for me too. the same for anyone in the north east or west, but slightly less for yorkshire. it's quite annoying, but please 'those that can, do.' there may be some cheapish train tickets from manchester, ~£20. try http://www.thetrainline.com

[TheMusicMan]

well, for such a large group of people, a few months is needed, not to mention the fact that people will register and then lose interest etc. I reckon there must only be about 100 people that check the site regularly.

Neil / Peter: Just to point out that it's the BBC/Talent TV who have made the request for 'Musicians' - Roger was astute and 'marketing opportunity aware' enough to find out what was on offer from BBC and post the details here. I appreciate this is short notice, but if we don't ask - we'll never know eh! :D Thanks for checking your diaries though, shame you're not available :cry:

All:

I know we're a fairly large group of people, but +500 in just coming up to 5 months is a great start!. How many times have you been asked to do a job for a fete, or charity event, or concert - or been asked to 'dep' when someone is ill etc... at the last minute. It seems to me that we bandspeople are used to this type of last minute request.

I agree with what Roger has said. This is simply a fantastic opportunity to promote banding in general, and selfishly from my perspective of course, theMouthPiece.com

Free transport
Free accommodation
Live TV
Potential audience of 10 Million
(and I've already asked for a plug for tMP by Philip 'n Anne :lol: )It's an opportunity for me that I simply couldn't refuse...

They are really very interested in getting as many tMP members on air as possible. I appreciate it's short notice, but if anyone can make it and is yet to respond - please email Roger for an application form and send it off as soon as possible.

Thanks for your support ... :lol:

Neil: WOW - 6 hours, do you live on the Shetland Isles!!! The BBC will cover costs of train tickets and accomm

[sudcornet]

My form is currently crawling through the British postal service so let's hope I'm in time. So come on everybody, let's show the country that we're not all cloth caps and whippets!
Sud.

[neiltwist]

fair point about the notice and rog etc., but maybe it's a point to think of in the future, and any meeting tMP makes :idea: .

the 6 hours was there and back! takes at least 3 hours to london at the moment, it took me something stupid like 4 hours the other day.

13 -- I sent one to Super_Sop ???? :D:D:D


I sooo wanna go :cry:

but can't ..... <finds disguise and fake i.d.>

[bagpuss]

There seems to be quite a bit of negativity towards this test the nation thingy from certain people which I think is a shame. :(

If you can't go, then fine. But don't put a dampener on those who are going or who want to go. I for one will be filling in my application tonight (if I can find a piccy) 8) !!

This is an ideal opportunity to get tmp known and to advertise the brass banding movement in general. It's an opportunity that we shouldn't allow to pass.

mines in the post as we speke

[twigglet]

Good point well made bagpuss!

:D

[Keppler]

Just for someone who doesn't know anything about what's going on...
what's this thread about?

in confusion..

[neiltwist]

to bagpuss, just reread the whole thread, and can't find any negativity towards the thing! a few of us said we couldn't make it, and in particular i said that maybe we could bear in mind notice and location for the future. As theMusicMan said, this wasn't something we had any say in, and thankyou to roger for giving anyone who hadn't heard about it the chance to go on telly!

to keppler, there's a thing in london called 'test the nation' or something, and roger gave everyone on here the opportunity to attend, well everyone above a certain age at least. a few of us mentioned we had prior engagements either on that day, or in my case the following week, that hindered us from attending (whitehaven contest, and band is on a sunday for me, and i only get back to uni for rehearsals 2 weeks before the contest). i then suggested that if we ever arranged a tMP band, then notice would have to be takem into acount. I also mentioned the location: 4 hours there, and 4 hours back from the north west at the moment, i also pointed out that you can get cheap tickets from virgin trains to london from manchester if they are booked early enough.

For some reason these comments were taken as 'negative', when the intent was to reason why i couldn't go, learn for the future when we may have a say, and help people.

[Roger Thorne]

Not wishing to be a pain in the backside, but these constant posts about being negative or not are not helping my quest to encourage Mouthpiece.com members to apply for applications forms.

Can I suggest that we drop these posts and return to encouraging our members to apply.

If anyone is a member of a band that is free on 4th May, could they please spread the word, get them to join the Mouthpiece and then apply to go on the show.

Much appreciated

Roger

[Roger Thorne]

That's the spirit Rach - thank you.

[sudcornet]

8) 8) 8) 8) :guiness 8) 8) 8) 8)

[Roger Thorne]

Well Done Nigel,

I've just spoken to her too. Three more Mouthpiece members have been accepted aswell.

They are still short of about 20 people to make up the team.
15 members have unfortunately just pulled out, so with one big last effort we could make it all Mouthpiece.com members.

If you are free on the 4th/5th May please send for an application form or telephone Kirsty Gaskell-Sinclair on 0207659 2785 to register your interest. (You'll still have to send in your forms though) Closing date for receiving application forms is Friday 18th April.

Application forms available from:

[twigglet]

Its all quite exciting now, I'm certainly looking forward to it......still more places to fill though, come on folks!! :wink:

[Kari Anson]

Hello All,

I'm a newly founded memeber of tmp but I'm attending TEST THE NATION and am extremely looking forward to it. For those of you that are undecided, allow me to point out the benefits. Firstly it is taking place on a bank holiday weekend so for the majority of people it doesn't interfere with any work committments. Secondly the BBC will reimburse all expenses and from previous experience this is usually in cash prior to filming. For those of you that have always wanted to be on TV - this is your chance to get your 15 minutes of fame! Those that are passionate about brass banding can be there to represent what excellent intellect we elite lot have! It's a great opportunity to meet up with fellow musicians and who knows what could come of it, many joint concerts etc. It's excellent publicity for the brass banding movement, all of whaich can only have positive effects. Lastly for those of you that are a little concerned about achieveing a low IQ, do not worry it is all in the name of fun and it's a team effort so no soloists required in this venture!
It will be great to see you there, so get applying and quick![/b]

[super_sop]

dont know about excited, nervous deffinatley!!!
already having the mickey taken at work.......god knows what it will be like after!
should be fun though seeing some of the people from here, and seeing how close to ther avatars they look!

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Everyone,

I've had an influx of requests for application forms over the last 48 hours - thank you all for your support - but you must get them filled in and sent off before the end of this week.

Just to keep you informed we have 12 members accepted onto the show as at 4.00 p.m. today.

But they are still looking for more volunteers.

So once again, if you're free on the 4th/5th May e-mail me for an application form at:-

rogerthorne@thornesmusic.freeserve.co.uk

:wink:

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Folks, I getting lots of e-mails asking what Test the Nation is all about - heres a bit of literature supplied by the Beeb that might explain a little bit about the programme . . .

TEST THE NATION – “THE NATIONAL IQ TEST 2003”

Following on from the hugely successful “National 2002 Test”, the BBC1 programme "Test the Nation" is back…

THE TIME IS NOW . . .

. . . whether you missed it first time around, had one glass too many or were simply too scared to try, we’re offering you a second chance to discover your IQ.

Once again Anne Robinson :evil: and Phillip Schofield :lol: will host this completely interactive programme, which promises to be an enlightening and entertaining evening packed full of fun, celebrities and surprises. (and Mouthpiece.com members - I added that bit!)

The 300 strong, studio audience play an integral part in the programme. They are split into six groups of 50 people, by occupation, hobby or other characteristic and will complete the multiple-choice test.

With viewers also playing along at home "Test the Nation: The National IQ Test - 2003", will hopefully take its place alongside the original IQ Test as one of the biggest live television events of the year. Once again proving to be an interesting and stimulating night for the entire nation.

Whether you were conquered by colleagues, beaten by your brother or simply searching for self improvement there are plenty of reasons to give it another try.

If you are interested in taking part then please e-mail me at:

Hi All
I got my phone call from Kirsty today, so I'll be there.
Look forward to meeting some of you in person.

[NeilW]

Likewise, I've just been called by Kirsty... so see you all there!

(The "what have I done" feeling is just creeping in... :? )

She said that there's been a big response from this forum already.

Neil.

[Bagpuss_007]

Its really unfair - i want to go on the tv!
But unfortunatly i am under 16 - i hope the tv cameras dont crack with my dads (Roger) ugly face!

Sowwie dad but it had to be said. :hammer

have a good time for the people who will appear on television...
bexc.x

[Roger Thorne]

Kids eh!

Becky, I'll remind you of this posting the next time you try tapping me for another fiver so you can go out with your friends! - which, if this half-term week is anything to go by, won't be too long.

:wink:

[Bagpuss_007]

oooohhhh - soz ard!!!
and may i point out that there is nothing wrong with kids! :mrgreen:
soooo can i go to the under 18s buttermarket next friday after band, i thought i would ask you on here so you might me more inclined to say yes :D :D :D :D

and dont forget - i love you :? :?
bexc.x

[twigglet]

going off topic beck, tut tut tut!!

......But Roger, let her go to the buttermarket you boring old git!

nice to know that we now have a hotel to stay in when we go to do the television thingy. I am quite worried because Kirsty has e-mailed me enquiring about my birth weight, looks like i was one of the heaviest in the group, weighing in at over 9 pounds.....!!which is strange coz I'm quite small now. Hope that they don't single me out for being a large baby how embarrassing would that be?!!

[floral_dance]

Sorry Roger, can't make it due to other engagements, and sorry for taking so long to respond, not been very well, only a cold but you know how they can be. Good luck everyone who will be representing the band movement, i will be with you in spirit, lots of!!!!!!!

[HBB]

Roger,


Has Kirsty got an e-mail address?

I'm only ½ a year to young ....... she might let me :?


I can always try!!!

ben ;)

[HBB]

Kids eh!

Becky, I'll remind you of this posting the next time you try tapping me for another fiver so you can go out with your friends! - which, if this half-term week is anything to go by, won't be too long.

:wink:

JUST A FIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah!!! I am greedy! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: or my dad's just generous??

But I don't have friends to go out wiv!!!! lol!! :oops:

[Keppler]

Hope that they don't single me out for being a large baby how embarrassing would that be?!!

Well it was hardly your fault!

[Kari Anson]

Just to be extremely boring and shed some light as to the relevence of your birth weight Elin. There are many existing theories and continued research into birth weight being linked to an individuals IQ, so by discovering your birth weight they will be able to corrolate this to your IQ. Oh, the joys of doing a psychology degree! I'm suprised they haven't asked if people were breastfed as that is a huge area of research, as that's supposedly linked to IQ. The longer a child is fed exclusively on breastmilk, the higher their IQ (so present research suggests). In that case my two children should both be a genuis!

Oh and as for the Buttermarket thing Rog, is all a case of trust. If you trust Becky then you should let her go, knowing that she'll respect your decision to allow her to go and will not take advantage. Loads of theories related to this area too but won't bore you any longer!

[NeilW]

I must admit I don't remember ever having a record of how much I weighed at birth! (I just picked the middle range so as to answer the question on the form!).

Likewise, I've got no memories of how I was fed :) (though I do remember there being a glass(!) bottle in the cupboard when I was a kid).

I'm surprised they didn't ask how old our parents were - because that could have an effect too...

Neil.

[Singapore Northern Lass]

Do you think they'd pay my expences from Thailand ?

Maybe they would if you and Singapore Northern Lass could share a taxi!

Two Points..I wouldn't mind sharing a taxi with the young lady from Singapore, but have you seen the water taxi's in Thailand. They'd never let us up the Thames.. and secondly you get very wet..but in S.E.Asia it's hot so not a problem...unlike London


Hi Brian, I'd be glad to share a taxi with you if you keep calling me a 'young lady' it's been quite a while now!!!

Sorry for the late reply but Ive been on my holibobs to Australia, had a great time, :bounce :grnsm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch any brass band concerts though, hopefully next time :?:

[groovy]

:( Sorry I'm another one too young to be on the show! :cry:
I'll enjoy watching it (And possibly seeing you all embarrass yourselves! :twisted: :P :lol: )

[HBB]

A petition methinks .......

[super_sop]

on a serious note perhaps you could speake to them and see if they are thinking of doing a jounior version :lol: :dunno

[yorkie19]

Much as would love a chance to appear on TV, having just spent Easter weekend on the YABB trip to Luxembourg, I don't think I'd be too popular in certain quarters if I disappear off to London at the next BH. However, good luck to everyone that's going, especially those off YABB. If we could just get a Miller Magic style introduction to the programme......... :lol:

Sam

[HBB]

on a serious note perhaps you could speake to them and see if they are thinking of doing a jounior version :lol: :dunno


No .... tell them that they are doing a junior version ..... I'm sure that we could get a band of under 18s :D ...... and its about time they did summat for us kids! :D (never thought I'd say that).

[In't this thing cool :dunno]!! :D

I'll be watching ... and puttin faces ... to names .... to avatars ... to crashed on the floor laughing! :D


Have a great time ;)

Hi Nigel,

I have talked to Kirsty today and all the information packs have now been sent out to our members.

We currently have 16 members on the show.

She still wants more Mouthpiece.com members to apply.
So once again if you are free on 4th/5th May send me an e-mail and I'll return an application form.

I would really have enjoyed this but our can band only get jobs on bank holiday weekends cos all the other bands turn them down. :roll:

Everyone enjoy themselves and make sure there is free beer in the hotels, its par for the course for tele producers :D

Originally decided to stay in leeds and be very studious, then realised that i wanted to come and play, but there were no places left :( .But I have decided to go to London anyway, stay with my big sister and we're going to sit in a pub watching and being proud sisters of El and the rest of you! ...then maybe we'll meet you for a lemonade!
