I believe that Bream Silver played Kaleidoscope, Pillowell played Dark side of the Moon, and Thomas Coaches Mid-Rhondda also played Kaleidoscope.
Not sure about the other.

Alec - great idea - I must remember to leaflet drop in Gloucester......
Was it just me who thought that this contest was a bit close to the Area Contests?

Our cards also came back quickly and efficiently (I had left it as late as possible to ensure that a player who has been away in New Zealand for 6 weeks could sign his card and get them all done in...
Have Kapitol have made a double acquisition Paddy Flower Bookies and 4barsrest in an attempt to have a brass band monopoly?
Pedaling - that sounds too much like exercise.
As an Eb player that would rather be playing horn (it is lighter) I never play below a bottom G!
The answer is mainly down to teamwork - sharing breathing and above all doing what the MD or Principal player tell you (same as on cornet).
It is also your responsibility to bring on the young...
The AW Parker (Drybrook) Band are looking for a solo cornet player and a percussionist - to join the band after the regional contest in Torquay.

If bands remain with BBBR and also register with BBP then that means paying twice for everything - card verification, transfers etc. Surely you must realise that?
Not heard that one before Fran - so are you saying that if a band cannot afford to go to the finals and turns down the invitation they will never get another one? ever?
Having said that - rules is...
With young brass band players heading for the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Guildhall and Trinity conservatoires, I would have thought that London bands would have been blessed with...
The West of England have made it totally clear to all competing bands with this message on their website and sent to band secretaries: -
'The Council of West of England Brass Band Associations,...
According to the Kapitol Rules (can be downloaded from their website) - if only two bands enter then both qualify!

Yes - you re quite right - this working for a living is playing hell with my banding!

More interesting is when you compare the North of England to the West of England the places on offer at the National Finals are exactly the same therefore the chance of qualifying for the finals are:...
I see that WEBBA have released the list of bands entered for Torquay 2013 on their website today.
A couple of interesting absentees and a smaller 4th section even with 5 or 6 additional bands that...
Why? If information is of a personal nature and you are not asked if you are happy for this information to be shared/given/sold to a 3rd party then how is this not breaking the Data Protection Act?

Changing the subject very slightly - at the GBBA hosted meeting to discuss the registry issues that took place on the 5th of January the question was raised about how Brass Band Players Ltd got hold...
