So the dust settles from the aftermath of the Nationals, and thus begins a new start for us banders. "NEXT YEARS 3RD SECTION AREA TEST PIECE"
:idea: should make a movie out of that! :idea:
So Vizcaya it is. Surprised a few peeps as well, I myself being 16 had never heard of it until I bought the Regionals CD.
LE have played it through once, and i've listened to it on CD countless times.
So from listening/ playing to it, I think that the main things Mr Adjudicator will pick on for marking will be cornet work, articulation, players being together, correct tempi, dynamics. Well a lot more things, but I feel these are the main areas. I just wanted to start up a discussion to hear people's views on the piece, areas people could fall down on, if they've played it in contests before- and where their band fell down on etc.
So tMPers feel free to get posting :lol:
