Bobby is absolutely amazing, just a genuinely talented guy. Check out his 'ave maria' and 'I've got a feeling' on youtoob...stunning!

Having heard your playing, can assure you that if you choose this you will be receiving plenty of offers! I for one hope you stick it out...would make us euphonium players in the Yorks first section...

Thanks, I wrote my piece not to put anyone off buying it, but merely to push people to try it properly in a band setting before going ahead and taking the plunge. It may be that it will work well for...

Thanks for patronising. As I'm sure you well know I was talking in terms of an octave higher.

I have played baritone enough and have enough musicianship to know about intonation. Forgive me for...

Oh dear oh dear!

I spent two days playing this instrument on a band course I was on this week, so roughly ten hours of playing over the two days including a concert with heavy works.

This may just be one of those Urban Myths that go around, but didn't Eric Ball (or someone equally prestigious) conduct a band at a contest on one of his own pieces where the adjudicators (blind)...

Gordon Langford?

I saw Brighouse and they played very well! The band seemed to enjoy themselves...some were even smiling after 'images'!!

Especially enjoyed Mike's playing of the Horowitz concerto, fantastic...

Not sure that's relevant! ;):oops:

Well on one level it means there are four halves!!! Making two whole lots of bands :D

From the several bands I saw in the entertainments contet on Sunday, I was absolutely bowled over by Adrian Nurney with Carnival of Venice...not only a superb arangement but so fantastically...

Just a note to readers, Cornerstone Brass being led by Gavin Lamplough, NOT Graham Lamplough! :D

Just to support my fellow bandsman here, I will be brushing my teeth up to as many as three times in preperation for saturday's playing! Top marks for oral hygiene...cornerstone brass!

I've been playing with cornerstone for a couple for a couple of months now in preperation for our first contest at Butlins in a few weeks. The idea behind the band, as has been stated, is that it is...

Fantastic piece, certainly not worth dismissing it after initial hearing as I did at first!! Having played it now, absolutely love it, great to listen to and play, well done Paul!

Absolutely agree here. Just spent a week with David at a camp in America and was absolutely blown away. Musically out of this world, would travel anywhere in the country to go listen to him....

Good thread Donna, I'm coming to Sheffield in September and will be looking for a band too hopefully!

Saw it out here in Hawaii last night not really expecting much...and it was incredible!! I haven't come away from a movie that impressed in a long long time!

Absolutley amazing film, and Heath...

Moon river
I'll Walk with God
Both good pieces!

I'm not sure, but I'd imagine Daystar by RSA will be on the program as it has been one of their main pieces this season. Could also expect Vitae Aeturnum and Where Eagles Sing by Paul Lovatt-Cooper...

Bravo. Completely support you and everything you just said. Thankyou for your honesty.

Croydon Citadel Salvation Army Band add a ‘Touch of Brass’ to Handel’s Messiah!

2008 is the 125th Anniversary of Croydon Citadel Band and they...

What an incredible clip!!!

Interesting thread this, not the first of it's kind!

I would guess my initial reaction is that it appears to be more prevalent amongst younger, male bandsmen simply because they are more open and...
