"Somewhere over the rainbow" or "A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square". Any of the Glenn Miller pieces - preferably a straight transcription rather than a disjointed compilation though.

Just being nosey .....

Is this a special request to play music for that era or have you fallen into the trap of "we're playing for the over 50's, we need some old music for the old dears...!"? :roll:

Hi - What about

- American Patrol
- Glenn Miller Selection (as previously said, your pretty safe with anything with Glenn Miller in the title
- Pensylvania 6-5000 (cant remember the arranger off the top of me head...)

Could you get away with stuff like Dam Busters, 633 Squadron?

Flugel solo...I've got you under my skin. How about Harry James' trumpet blues and cantabile? :lol: :lol: I know why.....The folks who live on the hill.......all items arranged for brass band.
The Battle of Britain march.....April in Paris and Laura arranged by Mark Freeh. Georgia as played by Maurice Murphy with Leyland. All flugel/cornet solos. The march Kohima...dedicated to those who fought in Burma 1939-45. Some of the above may originate in the 30's but nobody will complain I'm sure :lol:

Our love is here to stay - flugel solo
Any of the Rodgers and Hammerstein stuff, although I think that's early 50's
