It does have to go to the area committee for a decision but the normal procedure is for all three to go up.imthemaddude said:
By the way wonky Bob says please can you change your signature. You do not play Eb bass for Broughtons and haven't for the past 9 months or don't you want to go to Australia with us

Did Reg Vardy (or anyone else) have baritones muted at the beginning? Just curious...

I'll be perfectly honest, the Baritones have been sat in front of me for the last x number of weeks and I couldn't possibly tell you if they had them in or out!!!!!
(Must be the immense concentration required to try and keep myself in tune that has blanked it from my memory)

Your baritones were muted, Steve. You were obviously watching the MD with such concentration, to the exclusion of all else...

I may be wrong but I thought RV had one bari muted and one not.

Since when did Mr Wilton know anything about music! lol
Seriously though, I have to agree with him. I was a little taken aback when I heard the results. I thought Fishburn played really well and can consider themselves very unlucky to have finished higher. That was the best Area performance I've heard from the band in a good few years.

Thanks Sam
I am still finding it difficult to accept missing out on a qualification place yet again (it still hasn't sunk in yet), especially as the band and Major McElligott were over the moon with the way we played, but it is heartening to read positive comments on the band's performance from people such as yourself. It really does mean a lot to me and the rest of the band. Good luck to Ransomes in your area challenge! Also, best of luck to RV, Chester-le-Street Riverside and BHK Horden come October.

Was that because you knocked them out (like the solo cornet music) with your 'flamboyant conducting' (according to 4BR!)?

No! The music fell off because of the wonky stage - I never touched it! I was a model of restraint on Sunday...
And the drummer was slightly offstage at letter D as we were doubling up the percussion parts at that point and I'd asked them to be as widely spaced as possible.

Nah. It was the euphs who needed to get high.
But for all that the percussion had to do I'm surprised they didn't take some rollys, a few cans and a deck of cards on stage with them.
