Dear David please pass this on to Neil

Hello Neil,
		  I was at London at the weekend, and the contest was 
pretty good. The piece ( Songs for B.L ) wasn't all that good - 
nowhere near as good as Revelation. The Results were as follows :-

		 1 - Black Dyke Mills			 94
		 2 - Yorkshire Building Society	   93
		 3 - Desford Colliery			   91
		 4 - Brighouse and Rasterick	       90
		 5 - B.N.F.L					89
		 6 - Ridgid Containers Group	     88

As you can see the results are pretty low, as the piece was pretty 
difficult. The trombone part goes up to super F !!! - I have the 
score and I'll show you it when I come home in 2 weeks. It must be 
one of the hardest trombone parts around for a contest piece. I heard 
15 out of the 19 bands, and thought Black Dyke deserved to win. I 
thought Brighouse should have cam second, but fter that I didn't have 
clue - all the performances were much of a muchness. I liked Desford 
performance all the way through the day, but everyone told me that 
they were . Peter Parks took them. I rubbed it in when they came 
third. Y.B.S were good, but the sound at the end wasn't very big, 
compared to band like Dyke and Brighouse. B.N.F.L didn't deserve 5th 
as there was alot of slips in the performance, but they had a good 
sound and the soloist played quite well, especially Russel Gray. Alan 
wycherly played well, but crockford was better. The sop has a top C 
at fff at the end of the piece, quite a killer !!. All in all it was  
a good day, and I met up with some frineds. I nearly came to Wembly 
on the Sunday, but couldn't be bothered, so I went home. I heard 
Fishburn and Everready, and Fishburn were streets ahead of them. Alan 
Exley had Eveready

Well I'll have to go, my friends are telling me to hurry up, I'll see 
you later

Adrian
