Angela Tregaskes asks:
"Has anyone found any major errors in this piece?"

YES!!!
The Harrogate Band have made more than 200 amendments to the score 
and parts of Tintagel in order to correct missing bars, wrong notes and
inaccurate dynamic and articulation marks, and we still find three or four
at each rehearsal.  There are so many inconsistencies, most of them 
admittedly pretty minor but highly infuriating all the same.  

I took the piece with my previous band (Runnymede Brass) four or five 
years ago now, so I knew that it was a problematic work and took the 
score and parts home before the first rehearsal.

I don't have the score here with me but if my memory serves me right 
the missing bars are in the percussion part and there are wrong notes 
for  Eb bass, but all the parts have details missing or mixed up.

There should be a full score, and with this your MD should be able to 
put things right.

Tintagel had a rather inauspicious start to its life: it wasn't 
published for four years after its first performance, then Booseys 
published it before selling it to R. Smith Ltd.  Too many cooks???
