Has anyone read the new magazine called brass herald (3 issues old I think)?
I had a read of a complimentary copy, I think they must be doing a large marketing campaign.
I find it very interesting and well produced.
I wonder if there is a market for this though.
It tries to mix mainstream banding, SA banding and Orchestral brass. I suspect that this might be its downfall.
My roots are in the SA and so I regularly read the Salvationist. I am increasingly interested in the contesting world and keep up to date via the web and if I bought a magazine would probably get BB. If I was Orchestral I suppose there is a specialist magazine for that area.
As a result I wonder if The Brass Herald will fall down the list for people in each of those areas. I hope not but suspect it might be the case.
Any views?
Sorry just notice that an earlier thread introduced this, although not quite along the same lines.
