Its a shame about the white stick,as i for one have had many good times whilst playing under your direction in bands.You have always maintained and indeed set a high standard,and rehearsals have been hard work and a real pleasure.
Cheers Sid.

Well done Matlock!

Apologies for my double post (for those quick enough to spot it!)

 

[RondoRotundo]

As the V.W. is one of my favourites, I had a surprisingly enjoyable day yesterday and caught all of the performances. The surprising part was the standard and I have to say, with two or three exceptions, I thought the bands coped really well with piece. For me (I had to go before the summing-up and results) it was the slow variation that sorted them out along with the quiet start to the final variation and judging it so as not to run out of steam at the end, however, I did get the top six but not necessarilly in the right order! I did think that Foresters gave the most consistant performance but the best interpretation of the score came from Gary Sleath. Well done to everyone, especially the finalists.

Fab result Matlock!! Another session in Harrogate coming up, looking forward to joining in again!

Best Wishes

I have just played at my first Area Contest & really enjoyed it. Rushden Town Band came 13th - not bad when you consider that we haven't been able to go since 2000 & this time last year we only had about 10 players. Today we had 28 on stage!

 

[Craig_Baritone]

Am i true with kirkby comming 4th today us and matlock gone to 3rd section ? Cos i knew we were top of 4th section this morning !?

 

[Roger Thorne]

Congratulations to Wellington (Telford) on your fine achievement.

Good luck to you all at Harrogate.

 

[satchmo shaz]

Am i true with kirkby comming 4th today us and matlock gone to 3rd section ? Cos i knew we were top of 4th section this morning !?

think so Craig, my old man reckons its Matlock and Kirkby to go up!

well done!

 

[postie]

Well done to Matlock today - a superb result.

We came 10th, not bad considering it is our first crack at the Areas since 1998!

 

[DublinBass]

Right off now to celebrate.....:biggrin: :bounce :guiness :bounce :biggrin:

Congrats Ian... Best of Luck at Harrogate!!!

 

[cherrybassett]

congrats

Congratulations to Matlock and Kirkby what a superb result

 

[Pythagoras]

Came 7th. Happy with performance. Well done to Matlock who were excellent.

 

[Di B]

Would like to say on behalf of Matlock, a big thankyou to all those who have congratulated us - the band is ecstatic (if you were there yesterday, I am sure you will agree our cheering is even louder than our playing... though less tuneful!)

I think other band members would want to post similar thanks... but they are most likely still drinking!!!

Well done to the other qualifying bands too - lets put on a good show at the finals for the Midlands area.

Craig - I *think* it could be Matlock and Kirkby that will be promoted this time but thats just on my calculations.

 

[tubafran]

Came 7th. Happy with performance. Well done to Matlock who were excellent.

Well done Daniel, not like you to not ring with the results - had to text Colin for the information. Looks like your still going to be in the top two of the table for next year though so still another chance to get up to 3rd.:clap:

 

[katej]

Thanks Roger for your kind words! To say that Wellington were over the moon with the results is putting it mildly! I think we were possibly even louder than Matlock at our 2nd place!
Can't wait for Harrogate now, congratulations to all who qualified see you there!

 

[Tromoholic]

Did anyone listen to Ireland yesterday? I wanted to be there but couldn't.

I heard it was a good day and some good playing from all bands.

 

[Pythagoras]

Well done Daniel, not like you to not ring with the results - had to text Colin for the information. Looks like your still going to be in the top two of the table for next year though so still another chance to get up to 3rd.:clap:

Sorry. Had no phone credit, and all my money went on beer.
