A MASSIVE WELL DONE TO WIRE BRASS....Blimey not only winning the 2nd section , but a really well deserved runner up place in the Open Section...totally different programs..no repeat of any pieces...
Brilliantly played and really entertaining..

 

[yr_epa]

What did Wire play in both sections Nick?

 

[nickjones]

Just sent you a pm amigo....very impressive..not your typical march solo slow one and finale...was good to see Entertainment used at an entertainment competition.. bit of robbie williams , henry mancini , louis prima , duke ellington..very classy.

Thanks Nick for your help and glad to see you enjoyed yourself. It was great to see that Austin won best soloist as well. A top player and a top arranger.

Thanks again Nick hope to see you again soon.

not your typical march solo slow one and finale...was good to see Entertainment used at an entertainment compertition..

I would say that was the strength of the competition yesterday there were some good programs

 

[nickjones]

No worries...bout time a band came along and were entertaining for a change..yes only a point behind Pemberton and beating current welsh Championchip and 1st section bands..Brilliant..
anytime the band need a hand will help out...one condition tho , dont want to sit in front of Mike again...dont think I can take another 20 top d's and E's on cornet...my ears still ringing

[lynchie]

I'm still to find out what anyone ever found entertaining about a band playing a march sat still...
