I watched over half the 1st section and all the 2nd section at the midlands areas and if it's so quick and easy to set all the percussion up in a minute and a half, then there's quite a few bands...

This year I will mainly be in Devon...between the dates of the 4th and 17th August.

Happy to help any band in need of a bass trom from 4th to champ section....book early to avoid disappointment...

I know my band would really appreciate a vote or two under "lower section band" and then by entering our name under "other band" if anyone is feeling charitable...we are pleased with how our year has...

It certainly was a fantastic experience and I'm sure I speak for the whole band when I say that we will be chuffed to bits to be performing the 1st Section test piece to contribute towards what will...

2011 has been the best year I've ever had in my brass banding life. I've always thoroughly enjoyed playing and the company of other members of every band I've been in or helped out, and this year has...

I use E&L insurance

Very reasonable rates, good cover and very easy to setup, whatever your requirements.

I believe I sould have stuck to eating my supper earlier as opposed to eating my lip. Ouch.

I believe you blew the solder clean off, being a trombonist :-)

We are a very hard working band who, as well as contests and concerts, do a lot of civic ceremonies, marching engagements and have a superb Drum Corps and Fanfare Team. We have a fantastic MD (Leigh...

Can't see the harm myself.....I'm sure there has been people singing solos before? I know of a band that has had bagpipes and bicycle bells in the past......;-)

Well done Jeff, fair play to you!

Bass Trombone, Yorks Area, Sheffield, 1st Section down

Looking for an opportunity to play at the contest if any band out there are going and require a bass trombone (possibly 2nd tenor)
...

I'm extremely flattered! Thanks for that Dave! I would say it takes one to know one...

That time again and I'm back down in Devon the first two weeks of August....I'm helping Lympstone out and would love to help any other bands in the area while I'm down there. If any bands have a job...

Good luck to all bands, I hope you all enjoy it :-)

Heaton Contest Music played by Black Dyke Mills Band on "The Complete Champions" cd

What a turn out it was! I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did! :-)

...and here's our concert program



Police Special Arr Leigh Baker
On with the Motley (Soprano Solo Wendy Hart) Leoncavallo Arr Ray Farr
Kraken Chris Hazell Arr Darrol Barry
Love on the...

Plenty of John Barry pieces that shouldn't trouble the cornets I would imagine. Out of Africa for one. (I'm not going to say Born Free...)

I reckon there may be one or two brass band arrangements of pieces from the film "Brassed Off" :-D

Welcome to tMP Juzuggy! :-)

So much to do so little time...I'll see you later this evening sir, complete with homebrew ;-)

Looking forward to comparing/back seat driving/second guessing the adjudicators/forming my own...

I quite fancy a spot of PLC, Sparke or Vinter.....not that it's likely :-)

Seeing as we've just played Resurgam, I doubt that we would be given a further Eric Ball piece, but I accept that it's just your choice and not a "guesstimate" of what it will be ;-)
Eric Ball piece...

We are hoping we all put a good "Yorkshire" performance on across all sections :-)

I am only speaking for myself and not the band as a whole in any official capacity but thank you very much, I'm sure we are all excited and looking forward to the finals at Cheltenham :D
