Hi,

Recently, our band has suffered from the loss of several of our key 
players to university and career moves and we are consequently having 
to 'regroup' and temporarily amend the type of programme we play to 
reflect the struggles of the remaining members. Fortunately we have 
very good links with several other local bands and some of their 
members generously help us out at concerts when they can although, 
obviously, their own bands must take precedence.

The problem we have at present is that, shortly, on the same 
weekends as most other local bands, we will be required to play for 
the crowning ceremonies of several May Queens in surrounding villages 
and we don't have a fanfare suitable for our diminished membership.
This fanfare doesn't need to be very long - last year we used a 8 or 
16 bar section out of the middle of 'Fanfare and Soliloquie' - but 
needs to be manageable by 2 front row cornets, rep, 2nd/3rd cornet, 3 
horns, euph, 1st &2nd Bari, 1 trombone and Eb bass.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to suitable pieces,( preferably
with a source of supply as time is getting short)?

Many thanks,

Ian
