Further to our previous request for guest players for our Holland 2004 trip we have 4 spaces left on the coach. The last thread www.themouthpiece.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5958 had over 1300 views and secured 3 guest players for the tour.

We are staying for 4 nights at Haarlem and 4 at Arnhem, cost includes all transport, accommodation and food on a breakfast only basis.

We would be keen to hear from a kit player and other percussionist plus front row cornets. The cost is £260-£290 and we have the following programme

Sat 21/08 6.00am leave Sheffield for Harwich ferry to Hook of Holland
Sun 22/08 Playing at Six Flags theme park am - rest of day in park
Mon 23/08 Dam Square Amsterdam - mid day concert
Tue 24/08 Haarlem town centre - mid day concert
Wed 25/08 Hook of Holland
Thu 26/08 - National War & Resistance Museum www.oorlogsmuseum-overloon.nl
Fri 27/08 - Maastricht Food & Drink Festival www.preuvenemint.nl
Sat 28/08 - Arnhem - mid day concert
Sun 29/08 - Return to UK

Please pm me if you are interested - we would need a £100 deposit payment to secure a place and it is strictly on a first come first pay gets the places.

We have a number of tMPers coming already and of those that have been with us before I am sure they can all vouch for an excellent weeks tour.

Hi Tubafran

Enjoyed your rehearsal last night, and meeting people in the pub after :D

Wish I was coming on your trip but I think 7 tubas would be a bit too excessive :wink:

One down

OK Daniel but don't forget to do some falling over practice too.

Nick good news it would be great if Rosie, can come so now there are only 3 places left to fill the tour bus.

Any more cornet players or kit players interested in an excellent tour with a great bunch of banders? Playing will be limted to 2 to 3 hours per day then its Grolsh, Grolsh and more Grolsh. If you don't drink of course that's no problem as there will also be plenty of time for sight-seeing etc.

Is there really a place called Six Flags? Doesn't sound very Dutch to me.

Why no Dronfield-style stopping somewhere on the journey to play a concert :?: :wink:

Six Flags - Big theme park in Holland... much fun! There's a big roller coaster there that I forgot the name of, but on the pictures afterwards the guy in cart behind us had his head over his shoulder and the next 4 pictures showed people covered in vomit... classy!
