Five consecutive performances of John Cage's 4'33''! (Think about it - no split notes, no adjudicator moaning that anything was too loud - ensemble well and truly balanced - what more could one ask? 
)
But seriously folks ( :? ) That'll take some thinking, but I'll pm you when I've come up with one!

March - Ravenswood
Overture - Carnival Romain
Solo - Napoli (heard Roger Webster do this and was stunning) or if we do a slow one, either Meditation from Thais or Your Tiny Hand is Frozen. Kirsty Abbots has played both of these for us and they are both pure gold. Biased I know but she is a cracking player.
It's a lovely day tomorrow - We've been doing this a lot and it is one of Howard Snell's best
Finisher - Procession to the Minster - Old and well used, but I cannot help but get goosebumps on the closing chords.
There's my pick, wouldn't win any prizes though cos it doesn't involve dropping your trousers, slapping your thighs or dressing up in a Construction workers outfit and singing a Village People Medley.
But hey who cares. I wouldn't listen to that type of codswallop anyway, give me a tune anyday of the week. :wink:

Variatons or Partita by Wilfred Heaton, they are both about 25 minutes long :wink: - that would be my preferred choice to trombone trios droppong their trousers.

This is a hard one, and I'm not sure on timings for a lot of pieces, so I'll just pick five pieces and have done!
Opener: Valero (Grimey did it in their winning programme a couple of years ago and we're doing it at the moment, probably why it sprang to mind)
Tuba Solo: Czardas (what can I say, I'm bias towards tuba solos and this has always been the biggest crowd pleaser of the lot)
March: The Wizard
Nimrod (Eric Ball arrangement. One of the best bits of music ever written, and although the brass arrangement aint quite the original, I'll stick it in anyway!)
Finisher: Procession to the Minister (had to go with this too, played by every man and his dog, but still great when done properly!)

No, but A) I like them B) Audiences like to hear them C) The one I picked isn't really heard much and D) It's my programme so I can put whatever the hell I like in there! Concentrate on your own boccings please!

Excellent choice. Much under performed march in my opinion - can anyone advise of a good recording? I had one one audio cassette but misplaced it some time ago - not sure who was playing it - it was live - possibly at whit friday.

Nadia said:think its besses not hepworth
remember it cos our 2nd euph player lost my music and i had to busk the whole thing, and we ended up 5th beating fodens and fairys
Was going to say that the cd list must be wrong, but it turns out that there are two recordings on the cd of The Wizard, one by Hepworth and the other by Besses. Both right then! :wink:
4. The Wizard, George Allen, 5.19
Hepworth Band, Mark Bentham
10. The Wizard, George Allen, 5.20
Besses O. Th. Barn Band, Michael Dowrick
Bit strange putting the same piece on a cd, bet they both sound very different, probably because your busking!
