National Finals Test Pieces 2007 - what are your preferences?

[Bass Man]

I heard that it might be Year of the Dragon also. Not sure how many agree with me but I think that would be a tremendous choice for the 1st Section.

You'll be having a crack at the trombone part then will ya?!! Will get the Dragon out on Wednesday night for you to have a go at on yer double b

You should know I'm up for a crack at anything mate; Bring on the Dragon! Shame I'm at work tonight but I'll take you up on your challenge on Sunday night if you fancy!

Year of The Dragon would be a stonker.

Glad you agree with me Mosh

Of course I'll be your friend!

I can't wait for friday morning. I start work at 9am. The first thing I do will be to log onto Kapitols website and see what the piece is!

And we'll be roomies at Harrogate, stay up late, drink beer, tell ghost stories and in the morning, I'm making waffles.

I am likely to be illl on Friday as despite the advice of my doc, I went to band with this chest infection last night and consequentially am struggling to breathe today. Therefore, I will be sat waiting for the announcement, patiently hitting the old refresh button.

Sounds like a plan!

I attempted that once. I nearly died. S'not healthy.

Ok, it's high, but it "sits" right on the instrument, and it's not really that hard - try "Elaine" from Tintagel (Denis Wright) 3rd section area 1997 (I think) - that's really hard!!

Mr Fernie is being a bit modest here - he played that solo with Kirkintilloch at the Europeans in 1986 (good God, that long ago?!) and made an absolutely brilliant job of it: I've got a recording of it - a really sweet assured sound on what is a pretty tough solo (no matter what he says!)
