Killian & fellow subscribers,
With reference to recent postings on fundraising and world records.
The two ideas were combined by a youth band in Pershore, Worcestershire,
England, a few years ago. Their conductor, Gordon Hartley-Bennett, decided to
hold a Sponsored Note. The band was split into small groups and each group
played a tuning note when instructed to do so by Gordon. The result was one
absolutely continuous B flat that carried on for an hour. Lots of money was
raised, the record for NON-STOP playing was probably set, and hundreds of
annoyed shoppers & shopkeepers. 

Gordon is also the driving force behind "Pershore Midsummer Brass": can anyone
tell me if it's on this year, or when it is?

I would LOVE to be on the Internet Band as a second Kiwi representative, but as
the Dunedin correspondent said, finance is difficult.
