Happy Birthday!
Without kit,I wouldn't have gotten to know so many nice people accross the Channel (and also some less nice ones ;-) )

As peter said, I play in a Belgian "fanfare band" (some prefer to call it "fanfare orchestra"). Peter and Philip already explained it quite well.
Just some things to add. The instrumentation and...

That tweet is obviously incorrect, as demonstrated earlier in this thread by a memebr of the band

What's there left to discuss? The journalistic merits of believing everything you read on twitter?...

case closed :-)

welcome to the Mouthpiece!

hello people, please keep the discussion civil and on topic.

personal discusions can be held by personal messages, e-mail or other social media (or even in a bar)

Were you trying to make a new thread?
To prevent misuse, every user is allowed only two threads per month in the classifieds section, if I remember correctly.

Vlamo, the Flemish amateur music association, has announced the set pieces for this year's Belgian Nationals,which will be held in Leuven in the first weekend of December:

Championship section:...

I can't find any mentions about it on http://www.ebbc2012.nl/ or http://www.4barsrest.com/ , so I seriously doubt it.

I mostly agree, but personally there's nothing I can do about this. I'm only a 'moderator'...

I hope that was an attempt at humour, 'cause you couldn't be further from the truth...

There used to be more Belgians who visited this forum on a regular basis, but recently, I haven't seen much...

Welcome!

Not really, I suppose it's mostly facebook nowadays...

I've posted the link to the map in the "Belgian Brass Band Book" group on facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/groups/154267921343635/ )
Maybe you'll get some useful responses there.

The Belgian forum is as close to dead as possible. Traffic has been almost zero for a couple of years.

it's a conference for tuba and euphonium players.
nothing to do with the EBBC whatsoever.

just quickly from the top of my hat:
- I think brass-a-musica is missing
- Metropole brass band has folded
- I think Leieland is Championship section as of this year

the first "British style" brass bands were found in Belgium around that time as well. I think it had to do with people that could receive the BBC on their brand new televisions, and so some of the...

Friesland is the Yorkshire of the Netherlands :)

At least for brass bands it is. The south (Limburg and Brabant) is very strong in wind bands and fanfare bands, but there are only few brass bands....

Feel free to continue the off-topic part of the closed thread here.
That's why it's called the Random & Off Topic forum

I could have moved the thread in here or I could have split off the...

clearly there can be no serious discussion in this thread

500 to 1? in that case I'd put ALL of my money on Noord-Limburg...

moved to the Classifieds forum

There are a couple of grammatically strange sentences in that article, leading me to believe that it is an almost literal translation of an English text...
