Phil,
I really can't agree more.  Again, it's difficult for me to be impartial 
because we came 12/16 at London & Southern Counties.  I hope this doesn't 
sound like 'sour grapes', because it's not intended like that at all.

Philip McCann said that it was going to be down to the horn solo.  Our solo 
horn had a particularly bad day (shit happens sometimes), but the rest of 
the band played rather well (IMO).  In fact, the adjudicator's comments 
said exactly that:  very good interpretation by the MD, good section work, 
good playing, (mostly) good balance.  Having heard some of the other bands 
(congrats to the qualifiers btw) I know that we weren't on to win.  
However, it would be interesting to discuss what the rest of the 27 players 
could have done to get a better result.

Darren
