Has anyone got a link to any posters for this event? I heard about this concert some weeks ago at Darley Dale's rehearsal - I think their conductors playing cornet at the concert.

Will definately let everyone at Killamarsh and Barnsley know about this one and see if we can sell you a few more tickets.

I have spoken to players from a number of bands now and all of them seem to have tickets.

With the band that has been assembled, the pieces selected, the expected audience and the charity - Make Poverty History - this evening has all the elements of one oustanding evening of high quality music making.

What a fabulous concert this was, 2 hours of great brass band music plus a bit of singing from ISBBBb2 and some dancing too (not ISBBBb2). It was annouced that the evening had raised over £2000 for Brass Band Aid - great work, well done.

I would think that the audience was mainly people connected with the SA although there was a scattering of players from Carlton Main in the audience, plus Killamarsh of course.

Not having been to a formal SA concert before was very surprised by the lack of clapping for the devotional items Shekina and Benedictus. The Benedictus item arranged by Andrew Wainwright and Duncan Gibbs was fantastic and really did deserve some audience appreciation however I can understand why a piece like this should end with a thoughtfull silence.

Having been in the Army myself, as you suggest, the point is that silence after certain pieces is actually the ultimate appreciation because the music has created such a thoughtful mood. Same goes for pieces like Resurgam - I must admit that I can't bear to hear rapturous applause after the last note disappears. For me, it breaks the whole atmosphere which has been created.

Glad it was a good night and that so much money was raised :)

Glad to read how much interest Brass4Brass has gained. On behalf of myself and my brother (ISBBB2), We would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who supported the concert, both playing members and people who came to listen. We hope to hold another concert next year, so watch this space.

Outstanding event, even though I was unable to attend, a couple of friends who played in the band have told me what a superb evening it was, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
In terms of support for BBA, the event has been amazingl, and the moneys raised for the BBA project, well, simply outstanding.
I am well aware of the significant amount of time, energy and stress! that goes into organising such an event, but as I said to you last week, I bet all of that disappeared once the baton went up for the first number!
Well done and serious thanks for all who gave up their time and to those that turned out to listen and support both the concert and BBA.

ps, Have you set a date for next years event!!

We are hoping to hold it round about the same time as this but we have to check a few dates such as the open and ISB dates but we will let you know! For now myself and my brother are quite content in revelling in the memories of the weekend! Particular hilights have to be the ovation at the end of Call of the righteous, Gary Fountains scremer of a top Z at the end of lightwalk and the beautiful playing from Michael Dodd and Mark Walters in the spine tingling Benedictus from the armed man.

I agree wholly with the thanks expressed to all those who took part. The soloists were outstanding as you can imagine! Allan Ramseys leadership was superb and the BBb section top drawer (and if you dont agree see Ray!!) :biggrin:

Look forward to seeing you all at the next one! watch this space!
