Here's the top four for the Midlands Area again.  No doubt someone will post the 
rest, as I don't know them for sure.

1. Rigid Container Group - 194 points
2. Rhodian Brass - 192 points
3. Woolley Pritchard Sovereign Brass - 190 points
4. Staffordshire Building Society - 189 points

Rigid and Rhodian qualify for the Nationals.

Anyone playing in the Yorkshire Area next weekend will have Roy Newsome as 
adjudicator, (like us), so here is a copy of his adjudication on our 
performance.  Perhaps you can look and find out which sections of the band and 
the piece he is going to be listening for.

'Flug and Euph not together in opening.  Ct trio fairly accurate, but very 
cautiously played. B - rich sounds - but very slow.  C - well controlled - but 
basses rather powerful!  Allegro - some good playing and a real sense of 
purpose.  Splendid link, and the piu mosso displays a fine sounding band.  
Scherzando goes well - despite odd-sounding tambourine!  M - an excellent 
section.  N - beautifully restrained playing in horns.  Sop has a few intonation 
problems.  Lovely close.  O - good euph duo, but 2nd a bit prominent.  Lovely, 
graceful playing from cornets.  Q - beatifully handled.  Good link to S.  A few 
rhythmic lapses here with one or two rushers in the band!  V - again impressive 
stuff, though troms not as well balanced here as earlier.  Espansiva - some 
lovely sounds, but it became a little too expansive for the band's stamina.  
Nobilmente and Tranquilo beautifully portrayed and from Z, an exciting finish to 
a most interesting performance.'

If only we hadn't messed up the beginning.... :(

Best wishes,
