There was a lot of debeate on the day, due to the results of the 
championship section. A strange things happened when British Steel 
Teeside played ( who came second ). The band drew first,and when they 
started playing, it was very good, but when the sop player came to 
play the small solo which he has, something was obviously wrong as it 
sound terrible and out of tune. I later foud out that he had a cloths 
peg stuck in the bell of his instrument. When the results were 
announced, the adjudicator ( Mr. Roy Newsome ) commented on one 
particular performance, and that a band had played well, apart from 
this one error in the peformance ( which was the clothes peg in the 
instrument ). The band were then awarded second place. The majority 
of people who heeard the performance ( myself included ) wer 
disgusted at the result. Roy Newsome said on the platfrom that he 
knew somthing went wrong, but he is a box, and the sop player could 
just have had a bad day - how was he to know that it was something 
technical.
I would imagine that several bands are going to make complaints. I 
would like to hear from anyone who has heard of similar events 
happening at contests, and generally what people think of this.

On a different note, Fishburn ( last years champs. ) came 8th, and 
Every Ready, who have qualified sine the begining of time, have not 
this year. THey played a very musical performance. but there were 
slips made. It seemed to me that the faster that you played the 
piece, then the better your result was. Does anyone know what Roy 
Newsome said at the North West Area about the speed of the piece. 
E.Y.M.S played the piece very quickly, and it was by far the shortest 
performce of the day. I had thescore in from of me, and they were 
definatley a lot faster than the tempos stated.

All, in al a good day however, with some excellent music in all of 
the sections.
