Many will debate the 'facts' of thatcher's time in office.
Those of us who have studied both history and politics to a high level know that the idea of a 'fact' is a pretty mistaken one....
Now that IS the truth.
Death Magnetic. Metallica.
Have to say I rather like it - but the mix is dire. Another casualty of the 'loudness war' still plaguing recorded music....
Evenin' all. Been a while....
One thing I've not seen anyone mention yet is that with a front-action tuba the bell points the other way - which can be an issue with formation on stage, as well as...
I'm still reading, but posting very infrequently these days.
(PS - Hi all!)
I'm not bothered about a pre-draw. I'd happily go with just knowing if I was in the first 14 or the last 14 on the friday night.....
PS - Does anyone else feel that the 1st section final movement marked tempo is perhaps a little excessive? I mean at 112 minim beats, that puts the tempo fifty odd crotchets faster than last year's...
Jeez. 28 bands in the 1st section?!
I feel sorry for messers Cosh and Cutt at that.... And for whoever draws number 28. We drew 23 in my last year at co-op and that was bad enough.
150-1 in to 20-1? Hebden got you worried, Paddy? ;)
As I posted on another forum, I have nothing particularly for or against Kapitol in this. I simply believe in demarcation of responsibility.
The reason we have a separation of powers in policing,...
You want the 13 minute 'test-piece' version, or the 16-minute 'recital' version? ;)
Harmony music = Brilliant, but a technical nightmare. I've got through it on the contest stage twice, but would not claim to have 'played' it as the dexterity needed from the entire band is...
How did you feel about 'The Allure of Shadow' Marc? Last movement of that's not bad, if I say so myself.... ;)
Well, when I say I was a 'kid' I was probably 21 as that's when I started playing... Certainly a 'kid' in banding terms anyway!!
As a lad who'd just started playing Tuba, watching Grimey at leeds City Varieties and hearing them play Grainger's 'Irish Tune from County Derry'... with that legendary bass section including Tiny,...
Where's that 'Like' button..... :)
I think I'll retire again if the first section get that. As you know, John, me and Vinter don't really get on - Spectrum excepted which I think is brilliant.
But Symphony of Marches I have a...
Just for the record, I think he got off lightly....
The piece was arranged for the Skelmanthorpe band, at the request of their MD John Roberts. Their sop player, Mike Kilmartin considers that to be middle register.... ;-)
It'd sound fine down the...
Dare I suggest William Rimmer's "The Merry Men?" Used to knock that out as a section feature in my junior band days.
Probably not in print any more though....
If the band is happy for you to keep turning up on the chair, then you're good enough. The fact they're happy for you to come down and play says all I need to hear.
Good luck, and enjoy your...
Oh I dunno. My mate Tony from Sandwell, west bromwich is fairly pleased with it. ;)
Glad we turned Tottenham over, but what's Pardew doing shoving the officials around? If they decide to throw the...
And black dyke have built their reputation by playing everything that is put in front of them to a very high standard - a lot of it original repertoire. That is entirely beside the point. The LSO do...
Then delete some.....
