Joel,
	Welcome to the Brass Band mailing List ! I am fairly new to it
myself, but it is already proving to be worth the effort. 

I have a suggestion for raising the profile of the Band - how about a guest
soloist ? Preferably a baritone player - well actually - ME ! 

In case you don't know anything about me have a quick look at my home page
on :
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/StevenBooth

but basically I am always looking for opportunities to promote the baritone
as a soloist. I have a reasonably decent pedigree (as you can read on my
home page) and do quite a few solo jobs during the year - at home and
abroad. I am also currently working with Yamaha to develope a new baritone.

One of the most important aspects I suspect from a band's point of view is,
I do NOT charge massive soloist rates (as some of the other soloists tend
to ) as I tend to do the solos for the enjoyment and the opportunity to
meet other brass players and bands. (Having said that I would of course
need to cover costs (travelling / accomodation etc)).

Maybe we could work something out whereby we could both benefit. The band
would gain extra publicity and higher profile due to having a "name"
soloist and, if required, I could even come down for the weekend of the
concert and do some conducting / rehearsing with the band ( if the band
thinks it would benefit). 

Anyway this is just an idea, please feel free to ask around about me if you
don't know who the hell I am ! (I won't be offended) and I hope everything
goes well with the band. Being on the internet will certainly help you to
raise the Band's profile anyway.

All the best
Steven Booth
