I appreciate that rules are rules. However, I cannot see the need 
for a signature form to be completed as well as registration cards 
checked. Even if such a form is required, I don't think it is such a 
great misdemeanour if one name is accidentally ommitted from it.

We probably could have played without our percussionist, but we knew we 
were in with a chance of winning if he played. Without him, we 
couldn't have come in the top two. (The timpani par after F in Montage is

I'll keep you informed of any developments. At the moment, I'm assuming 
that we will be going to the Finals, as I believe that our case is a 
strong one (not to mention the fact that we've bought the Champagne 
already!!!)...

Thanks for your input,

Cameron
