i know ive mentioned my current band already but i just thought i'd mention my 2 former bands aswell.
i felt hudds brass were unlucky, if they had taken the piece a little bit slower in parts then they could have matched there fine performance they did of viszcaya last yr where i predicted them 3rd. unfortuneately this was not the case and a few errors cost them a place or 2 but still fairly solid and a 4th place was in the offing 4 them in my opinion, now can some1 answer me how clifton got 4th?, no offense guys and gals but you all seemed to be almost collapsing after your performance and every1 i spoke to on the day didnt rate your performance to be of 4th place standard. o well maybe justaice will be done next year, who knows.
talkin of justice well i played with hebden bridge last yr and we got a crummy result of about 8th i think, can't remember now, i thort we played a lot better than 8th, altho this yr i thought that yet again hb have pulled off a fine performance and only because of a messy small section in the piece, i had hb down as a really professional performance, 2nd i predicted them, i feel tho that south yorkshire police were robbed of at least a finals place, they played better than the west rivals and 2 b fair, west played quite well aswell, but the cops bands have yet again been placed in the wrong order, switch the 2 around and it wud have been about right, but yet again thats adjudication 4 ya, neway well done 2 hbbb and i'll wish u all the best 4 the finals which i'll b there supportin u all the way.
and finally lindley. thank u to the ppl on here who complemented our performance, when i heard the draw i felt we were really unlucky, 1stly coz it was last, 2ndly coz it was grimey(1 of the big 4), and 3rdly coz they ended up being the winning band that was full of immense quality, yet again congrats 2 my tutor mr richard evans!, but i felt that these 3 factors didnt help our performance altho sum1 has 2 go last and this time it had 2 b us, but when i heard the 1st 3 bands(pennine, hade edge, and skelmanthorpe), i thought we'd have a good chance of beating them as their performances had little blemishes here and there, its a shame they didnt draw closer 2 us near the end, maybe that wud have given us a better result in the ned, but its all speculation and i think we will go down 2 the 1st section with our heads held high coz we played well sunday night, i really enjoyed the experience as it was my 1st time in the champ section and who knows, hopefully lindley will b a mega force in the 1st section when we officially go down, i hope we will neway.
a quick mention to all the new bands who took part, i thought there were positives in all of their performances at some point or other and they should take great credit for their efforts this yr, i felt golcar were well controlled in their playing and with the experienced mr john clay in charge, they came out with a respectable result. well done dodworth!, a surprize package and very tight and clean thruout, well done elliot darwin and ur team coz uve done really well on ur 1st attempt at the yorkshire regional contest, garforth again a good effort and steven bailey you should be proud of ur team, very good effort and then that leaves skelmanthorpe B, unlucky guys that 1st movement let ya down a lil bit, but i tell ya when i came down 4 my audition to conduct you i really felt you had a chance to do very well at this contest and if u can keep your players and keep workin hard then next yr with a bit more preperation you should do really well and i hope to follow your progress throughout the yr.
well done to all the successfull bands who will either go up or go to the finals and unlucky to the bands who will suffer relegation or came last in ur sections, and good luck to every band for the rest of the year and i hope 2 see you all next year, best of luck to you all
