Well Edy - Robert has almost got it right.
Charles Anderson's contest march 'O.R.B.' is dedicated to the Oldham Rifle
Brigade and is a fabulous march - but let down by a really weak 'Trio'
section.
I played it one year at the Whit Fridays but the first 3 winning bands all
appeared to play 'Ravenswood'.
Other obscure contest marches (quality) are 'Raby' (George Allen) - High
Command (Australian composer -can't remember the name!) - 'Simplicity'
(J.Ord Hume) - 'Brilliant' (J.Ord Hume) - 'Honest Toil' (W.Rimmer - and
unusual in that the Trio does not change key) - 'Roll Away Bet' (J.Ord
Hume).

BTW Martin's suggestion of 'Round The World' could possibly not work - as I
recall only published (not manuscript) marches are allowed to be played at
the contests.

Is anyone familiar with the march, "The Arabian", to my mind one of the
best marches ever written, with its marvellous melodies and obligato cornet
solo.
