[Bbmad]

I know what the pieces are going to be, but you wouldn't believe me, so whats the point in posting?

Oh go on try us!?

alternatively you haen't got a clue and would make yourself look stupid if you posted a list and they were all wrong.

See.

Actually I do, I have something of an "inside track" on this matter.

 

[smaca]

Excellent....so any cryptic clues for a bit of fun, or do we all just need to wait till official announcement?

 

[Bbmad]

Actually, the announcement will be made on 14th September. That much I can reveal.

 

[smaca]

ok, thanks.

 

[smaca]

PS, if you revealed is it knee capping for you or just loss of your home and car?

That's the Monday before the lower section national finals which seems to be the norm the last few years, so only just over 5 weeks before we can all start practising next year's testpieces lol

 

[smaca]

Do you practice?

 

[tat]

Heard on the grape vine the 1st section was a new piece?

 

[smaca]

Opportunity for Bbmad to confirm or deny this

 

[tubamaest]

Come on bored now let's have the full list then we can start a new thread on how poor and inappropriate the choices are!

 

[smaca]

Don't think anyone knows yet.......all just rumours.

Yes pal think your right, never did like waiting!

 

[smaca]

Me too .....I understand and realise the argument its months away so no need to know in August, but I do enjoy the guessing/rumours then opinions/views of the choices once known.

So far it seems we have Cantata or Cambridge Variations for Championship, with Diversions on a Bass Theme, Essay, YOTD or new piece for first section, combined with Ballet for Band for 2nd section.......a varied rumour list. Wonder if any of them are right.
