Has this question been answered as I would like to know: Is there an errata update for Partita for Band (Philip Wilby)? ​If so where is it?

Wow Tylorstown are ranked outsiders again, same as last year and we can 3rd in our 1st ever Spring Festival...I like them odds very much indeed

Have you ever thought of finding a sowing machinist who would like to be recognised for their work done......It could work out a lot cheaper and you could end up with free advertising? As for anyone around your area, sorry....But good luck and would like to see what design and by whom, just in...

I do believe you are on about our site, if not I apologise. We are a Concert Brass Band and therefore there is no limitaions on the number of Euphs, Horns, troms etc., etc. Size is not the issue, it is for the enjoyment of not contesting and just to make music...

Further to my previous post, how many of you said 'We played better than the winning band?' You may have done so and a lot of people will agree with you, but how many made the piece musically right, feel right with tonal qualities, dynamic distinction and rhythmic clarity that only top section...

After reading all that is written about Mr. Brian Buckley and some I feel rather unfair....So the percussionist won the soloist prize? At least he won it and it also shows that there are other instruments in a band..... Now if a 3rd cornet had won such a prize atoned by another adjudicator...
