     I agree entirely.  I think the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't 
     fix it!" springs to mind.

     cheers

Please, please leave the Brass Band alone - some of us happen to like it as it 
is.  Does every thing have to change just 'cos we are reaching the year 2000? 
By all means concoct a different ensemble but don't tie it in with Brass Bands.
 Adrian's suggested instrumentation bears no resemblance to a Brass Band and is
a totally new grouping and should have a name as such (how about Symphonic Brass
Orchestra).  I agree, sometimes it is good to have a different instrument play 
in a Brass Band but only as a 'novelty' item (I don't mean that derogatorily) 
and not as a permanent feature.

There we are - got that off my chest.
