Anyone have a Courtois Cornet Mouthpiece - 3C to sell?. Can't seem to buy anything Courtois online anymore - anyone know of a music shop still selling courtois mouthpieces.

Help would be much...

Nice contest and brilliant venue. We were somewhat bemused by the officials making the band cram under a tiny gazebo at the start of the contest and then "shimmy" out sideways into marching...

If it sounds right

Shame about Tenby band. Have seen them most times we've been down to Tenby. Nothing better than a band by the seaside !. Thanks for the offer of practising with you, but if I can't get something...

Ay up !,

Going on hol to Tenby next week and wondered if any local bands need an extra cornet for concerts ?.

I know trying to get a gig when on holiday might sound a bit obsessive, but we...

I wish they would announce the pieces for 2009. Pointins peices have been out for weeks now and this contest is in October. Is it just tradition to keep us all hanging on or part of some master plan...

I can understand **** or ******** and defnatley **** being asterisked but not ******.

it's just not ******* fair :mad:

Confession Time - sometimes when asked at work etc. I say that I play trumpet. For the reason that I don't have to restrain myself from hitting someone when they come out with the side stictchingly...

Didn't realise it would asterisk the word bl00dy ?

LOL, reminds me of Brassed Off when the bandmans wife says "go and play your ****** trumpet" and he replies with much indignation "it's not a trumpet, it's a Euphonium". My fav line.

Sorry that you had to pay for, the following software might have sorted you:-

Just in case others are thinking of getting similar software:-
Finale Notepad is a cut down version of Finale. It...

Reminds me of the time we played at a "fete" in stoke-on-trent. I guess it was a bit of a run down area but we were trying to do out bit to make it a good day for them. We got hassled and then egged...

Do you really not like the shipbuilders ?. Classic piece in my opinion, got an old dyke recording of this and it sounds great. I'm gusessing it must have been top section way back when ?.

Norfolk Enchants then ?

Will look this up. Have got Richard Marshall playing it (brill) and James Watson not as good due to nasal trumpet sound (in my opinion).

cheers

Hi,

Is that really the case - winning at the nationals doesn't gurantee a move up the sections. Are you sure about this as bands like Leyland (years ago) seemed to go up a section every year to...

Hi,

Been playing through Slavische Fantasie by Carl Hohne, just for my own enjoyment but have mislaid it somewhere on the train. Anyone know where I can buy a solo copy from preferably could just...

I've seen a 20 famous marches book. Contains as the name suggests 20 famous marches.

You don't end up like the tribesmen with the big floppy bottom lip do you ?

Have you noticed the really rude posters never disclose their real name. Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of someone who users 5 exclamation marks anyway.

Back to the piece. I'm not playing...
