Official tMP L & SC Regional 2008 thread

[Christine Wade]

There have been several messages regarding ticket prices at the L&SC regional contest. As Treasurer I am possibly the best person to answer the queries.

• We have never charged admission for a player to hear the bands in the section in which they are competing. The bandsmans ticket is sufficient to gain access to the hall.
• The adult/over60s tickets etc are per day not per section.
• The bandsman exchange tickets allow you to listen to other sections on the same day as the one you are competing in. The cost of this ticket has been reduced from last year and is £2.00.

If anyone has any queries regarding tickets when at Stevenage please come and find me and I will try to sort the matter out.

Thanks Christine,
I knew Chunky and I were right on this one but it seems some people had a bit of a raw deal courtesy of the centre staff last year.

Just one question, do we still get discount for the other day with our bandsmans ticket and if so, what is the price?

How much is it to get in for an ordinary spectator then? Like me, there must be other bandspeople out there going b ut whose band is not competing.

As posted earlier in this thread:

The ticket prices for the 2008 contest are as follows:

Adult £9.50
Over 60s £7.00
Under 16s £7.00
Family (*1) £12.00
Weekend (*2) £12.00
Exchange (*3) £2.00

Depending on your age, therefore, it would cost either £9.50 or £7.00.

When I helped out Staines before Christmas, they seemed to think that it was very unlikely that they were going to be able to raise a full band for the areas.

We'll be there Dave, see you next month dude

Excellent to hear it's turned around, people were pretty pessimistic in early Dec. Good luck!

Ok , just under two weeks to go . Any comrades from the 1st section fancy meeting in the car park afterwards for a ceremonial burning of JCC ?!!

There with you brother! Perhaps the bar might be a better option tho!

[yank67]

I will bring the lighter! Can we burn any thing or "anyone" else?

[WhatSharp?]

I actually quite like JC, could think of plenty of other candidates for cremation... Images of the Millenium ( 2006 remix ), Celestial Prospect, actually we could start a whole thread on "Most Hated Test Piece"

Now now Mr Yank, your country has a reputation for 'friendly fire,' I think we should just stick to JCC

[yank67]

Sorry, put it down to test piece tention!

Flippin' Bass players, always moaning. By the way, we are including it in a few concerts later in the year lol!

Great ! A wider audience will get to appreciate our free-form jazz-impro rendition of the 6's then !!

[Ipswich trom]

LOL, I was going to say that but didn't want to upset you. When you have 12 notes to play in a beat like us Troms, then you can moan!
