Baritone....United Co op Crewe.

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Heather.

Could you do me a big favour and pass the following message on to Peter Hough.

The Concerto for Eb Bass and Clash Cymbals is almost ready for its first performance!

He'll know what I mean.

Many Thanks

[TheMusicMan]

... better still, ask Peter to register on theMouthPiece.com !!! :D

[McEuphie]

I play for Barnton Silver Band in Northwich, Cheshire.

No prizes for guessing what intrument I play and which part of the country I originate!!

[Fishsta]

I reckon you're from Peckham, and your instrument is the Baritromphonium.

[Heather]

Hello Roger,
I've already done it!!
I saw your message on our Bands website and I told Peter weeks ago.
He had a good laugh about it.
I think he was going to get back to you. I will mention it again to him on Sunday.
Cheers,
Heather

I am right in thinking you conduct Wem?
If so, I expect you know Alan Collins?

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Heather,

Thanks for passing on my message.

Yes, I conduct Wem Jubilee (Based in North Shropshire for those who have never heard of us!).

I've been there for about 10 years now.

I've never heard of Alan Collins though.

The only Alan we have in the band is Alan Metcalfe (Solo Trombone).

Thanks once again

[Bagpuss_007]

Hello Everybody!

I play percussion with Wem Jubilee Band along with Darren Peake and Stephanie Evans

I also play the cornet and piano.

And my Dad's the conductor! :cry:

[Salli]

I also play for Wem Jubilee Band (Solo Horn)

and my husband conducts! :cry: :cry: :cry:

and my daughter plays percussion :evil: :evil: :evil: :x

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spookybiking]

salli you must be the first on here to highlight what part you play?

[Fishsta]

Blimey, Salli, that's a HUGE avatar!!! :lol:

Slightly out of season though.

Ho ho ho!!

[Roger Thorne]

Hey Fishsta,

You haven't seen the size of her baubles! :shock: :lol:

[Heather]

Hi again Roger,
Alan Collins is my husbands boss and lives in Wem.
He has been to many of your concerts and has started to take a great interest in your Band. From what he told us it sounded like he had got to know you all too! Must be my mistake!
He doesn't play an instrument though..sorry!!!

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Heather,

The mystery of Alan Collins is now solved!

I would probably recognise him by sight if he has attended our concerts but I certainly didn't recognise the name.

Have a chat to him and find out if he is coming to our Christmas Concert.
(21st December, Stanier Hall, Wem)

If so ask him to make himself known to me, I can then tell him what a wonderful employee your husband is . . . better still I can use him in a bit of audience participation :lol:

[Brian]

I don't play for a brass band now, but the last one I played with was Shirland Miners Welfare Band, but for many years played for Bestwood Welfare "Black Diamonds" Band.

I also know Alan well having played under his direction several times - a talented MD and just brilliant cornetist. I saw Alan play in the Barbican with Grimey playing Sparkes - Harmony Music - what a fantastic performance that was - I also believe that was the year that unbelievably Grimey did not qualify. It's a strange world this banding world of ours eh!!

As to the 'How to help', well I think most people here would agree that by contributing on theMouthPiece.com you are adding value and offering experienced opinion on a host of banding matters. Yours are the opinions I setup theMouthPiece.com to hear, and we respect them.

I am sure there are many bands in your area who with your experience, would simply love to have you in their midst. I for one am glad that you are around here :D

Keep posting.... and a happy new year to you and your family...

.... a big welcome to theMouthPiece.com boneman - how are Jackfield Band doing this year...?

Thanks MusicMan - an excellent site.

We are looking forward this year to our first ever year in the top section, we are realistic about our chances of major success! - however we are going to go for it.

We have had a couple of really key signings over the past year, on cornet that have proved to be absolutley invaluable and really strengthened the band.

Having said that our last couple of results in the first section were not great despite playing well - I guess that's contesting for you!

Twigglet have you been drinking the 'green' liquid again!

How can you sit opposite AND adjacent to someone - and why did you post it twice?

The mind boggles!

:?

[twigglet]

well coming from the district of wem i've been deprived of a modern education so am admitedly stupid! i meant not directly opposite or adjacent to the person i do sit opposite too.

think the green liquid is calling me...

Miss Twigge

[Roger Thorne]

You've definitely lost me now!


:?

[twigglet]

well i could either describe it as being not directly opposite someone
OR
i could say it was the person adjacent to the person i'm sat opposite

:roll: hehehehe i know what i'm talking about even if u don't

Twigglet

[Roger Thorne]

If its the person adjacent to the person you're sat opposite it must be John Roberts!

:?

[twigglet]

mr conductor,
I think you will find that your latest seating plan actually means that Salliann is actually adjacent to the person I am sat opposite! so hahaha.mr roberts is actually perpendicular to me

Geometrically challenged one

[rutty]

Hey rutty & everyone else from Carlton Brass....

Me thinks you will get load of visitors with pics like that on your home page... http://www.carltonbrass.org.uk/ ...any vacancies... :D

No offence meant folks.... :D :D :D :lol:
The Xmas carolling ones eh? They are good aren't they, shame I couldn't make it that night! There is a rather incriminating one of me in there from Pontins 2001... can you find it?

[EIBB_Ray]

I play tenor horn with the Eastern Iowa Brass Band, in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, USA. (That's "Iowa" with the corn, not "Idaho" with the potatoes or "Ohio" and whatever they're famous for.) I'm here trying to find out more and join the larger community of brass banders around the world. It seems the most of the world doesn't know we exist in "the states." I'm not sure whether it's because we're relatively new small and silent or because the rest of the world prefers it that way. Thoughts? Comments? Sticky Icon needed?

[WhatSharp?]

I think it has more to do with a lack of information. We don't tend to hear too much of what goes on across the pond, perhaps you should persuade www.4barsRest.com to get an american correspondent.

I think most peoples idea of American Brass Bands are those marching bands that we see. Best of luck to you and you're band and if you're ever find yourself around Heathrow on a Wednesday or Friday night come along and have a blow (we're about 10mins from the airport).

Wow...this thread has got huge! I better add my reply now! :)

Hi Owen,

I saw somewhere that the YEP band is now defunct.......is that true or am I getting my wires crossed? :) I believe Tony W has just joined you on EEb Bass@Yorks Co-Op?! Say hi to him for me!

[Owen]

Hi Matt

YEP is still going but as a ten piece outfit - they are concentrating on concerts rather than contests and as a result have got some of the old players back that are now signed on with other bands. They have a good crowd there and are having quite a lot of fun, from what I can tell!

Tony W is joining us - I will pass on your greetings!

All the best

Owen

Thanks for the CD. It arrived in the post this morning. I've had a listen through and I'm very impressed. 'Royal Border Bridge' stands out for me (but I would say that, wouldn't I!).

People, you can buy the new Harrogate Band - 'Made in Harrogate' - from their website.

Sam



I play Bb bass (used to play Eb, but wanted a more technically challenging part!) with Yorkshire Imps.

Sam

Hi Sam - hope you're well and keeping busy. I need an address for you - to send a CD!

Best wishes from all in Harrogate.

Just a thought - but does anyone think a new category called something like "User reviews" might be interesting :?: ? As long as the title of the post in that category clearly states what is being reviewed (Specific Instrument/Music/Recording/Mouthpiece/WWW Site ???!!! etc), I think this might work.

Opinions please.....? Some other interesting categories have been suggested recently & I don't really want to 'overdo' the number of categories on the front page - but if you like this particular idea & think it will add value, then I will add this one.

I'm with you on the 'overloading' - while it's good to sort stuff into their proper categories, it can easily distract the users imo if there are too many 'pidgeon holes'

However, having said that, a 'User Reviews' category might be useful! ;)

If you look at the map, youll see that the England/Scotlnad border is approximatley 50 miles north of most of Hadrian's Wall.

[MoominDave]

Taken as meant! MSN is empty, clunky, and deluges you with spam by passing on your email address to others. That was what deterred a lot of the Delphi posters/lurkers from joining it in the first place. It's odd how these things go round - before Delphi, Nigel Horne's mailing list was very active, and I'm told that before that started up, there was a general brass list run by a chap called Ted Zateslo which attracted much of the brass band traffic, although there are far more interested people online now than there were then.

What has happened to Colin K's posting on this thread? It is there in the index, and if you follow the link via his user name it appears - on Page 17 of 16!

Is there something sinister going on, or is it April 1st come early?

It must have been an early April fool, because it has suddenly appeared. Welcome to tMP, Colin, and hope you don't disappear again!

I'm also a persecutionist at Wem Jubilee Band with Becky and Steph.

Beware of pale imitations, I AM the one and only bagpuss!!

Yes, Roger does conduct us. He rules over the band with an iron fist and few teeth!!!

Whilst on the subject of Roger, you REALLY need to change that little picky of you at the side of your posts mate. It just says CHEEZZYYYY. I have a better picture you could use mate, it was taken at a band social some time ago and was to the tune of 'You can leave your hat on' by Tom Jones.

If you want it mate, just let me know. If anyone else wants it, I'll start taking bids!!!!

Mr. B.Puss esq.
