I'm posting this for the benefit of any percussionists within range of 
Manchester UK, because the event hasn't been very well publicised.

This is obviously of great interest to brass band percussionists. 
Although amateurs, they are required to play in a wide variety of 
styles with as much authenticity as they can manage, often with very 
little guidance from the composer, arranger or conductor.

I would semi-respectfully suggest that conductors, arrangers and 
composers who are less than au fait with modern brass band percussion 
writing could learn and draw inspiration from this event as well.

Brass players, please pass this info on to your percussionists.

BTW, before anyone asks, I'm nothing to do with the organisation of this.  
I'm just a punter who picked up a flyer from a percussion shop.  The 
above descriptions are taken verbatim from the flyer.
