Is anyone else on tMP playing at this new contest? I'll be playing with Horsham Borough Band. I believe Redbridge and Brass Band Heist are going too. Does anyone know the full line up of bands?

Battle Town Band needs a few players (any instruments but cornets / horns especially welcome) to help us out at Lewes Bonfire on Saturday 5th November. For anyone who doesn't know, this involves doing several marches through the streets of Lewes in the evening. Arrive at 17:00, finish by...

Having paid our deposit and supposedly booked our hotel in Harrogate straight after our regional contest win in March, we've now been told that "oh dear, we've double booked your rooms" and so we're having to spend our two nights in Harrogate at two different hotels. Rather annoyed as it's going...

I won't be playing at Hove this year, but planning on going along to listen to a few bands... wondering who's going... I know Horsham, Mid Sussex and LGB are. Anyone else?

I play for Battle Town Band, based in the town of Battle, which is where the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066. Apparently George Allan wrote a march called Battle Abbey (the abbey was built on the battlefield). It would probably make sense for our band to play it. Does anyone know who...

For those of you who are on Facebook, especially if you aren't too keen on the new Facebook, try changing your language to Pirate! Go into Settings and Languages and then choose Pirate. Everything is then transformed into pirate English so "my friends" becomes "me hearties" etc. It's great fun!

Who's going? I'll be there with Uckfield Concert Brass in the 2nd Section on Saturday afternoon.

Does anyone happen to know how many trumpets are in Charpentier's Te Deum and what kind of trumpet I might need? Trumpet in D?

I've accidently found myself playing principal cornet with a 4th section brass band... don't quite know how that happened! The MD wants me to get some cornet solos in my repertoire. At the moment I'm practising Apres Un Reve (Faure arr. Snell). Does anyone have any suggestions for any good...

I might be getting a new cornet... it's a Jupiter cornet and it's a 520. I don't know much else about it. I'm going to try it before I buy it. Does anyone have an opinion of Jupiter cornets? I know it's not exactly a pro-level cornet but I don't have enough money for a good one and I'd rather...

I'm doing the musical 42nd Street at the end of this month and the trumpet parts call for "Solotone Mutes". None of us own one... what's the most suitable mute to use instead?

Hello, I'm Daisy Duck. Real name is Louise and I'm a back row cornet player for Mid Sussex Brass Band. I joined in March and this is my first real banding experience (unless you want to count 2 rehearsals and a park gig for Fulham Brass Band about 3 years ago). I'm really enjoying myself...
