     I heard B&R, Dyke, YBS, Todmorden, Rothwell, Sellers & Carlton Main.

     Whilst wishing John Hinckley and Carlton Main good luck in London, I 
     cannot say that they played the best performance of the bands I heard.

     Dyke were by far the best band I heard on the day and this was echoed 
     by a number of people I spoke to.  YBS played a good performance but 
     the music stopped in the slow part, the music was too slow and 
     detracted from the performance as a whole.  B&R split too many notes 
     for my liking but it also had some good points.

     Rothwell played very well but it seemed to be a bit too fast for them. 
     Sellers performance was very comfortable with the soloist playing well 
     above stated dynamics.  There wasn't much contrast between quiet and 
     loud passages.

     Carlton Main I thought may sneak a place if YBS and B&R had come in 
     the top two.  The performance was good apart from the wrong entry in 
     the third bar by one of the players.  The soloist all played well (esp 
     Solo Horn) but lacked a bit of "sparkle".

     I'm not usually and Dyke fan but IMHO they were ROBBED and should have 
     won the contest by a long way.  I feel that Bram Gay must have 
     adjudicated on tempo markings only as he said "trying to find flaws in 
     Blitz is like trying to count the number of passengers on a high speed 
     train when standing on a platform at a station".

     See you all at Blackpool

Carlton main 196
Brighouse	  192
Rothwell Temp 190
Sellers   188
Hepworth  186
Ybs    184
Black Dyke  182
Imps   180
Lindley    178
Rothwell   176
Todmorden   174
Stocksbridge   172
Dridlington     170

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Carlton would be Champs or even 
Rothwell Temp ( just promoted) would be at the finals (Brighouse already there 
with Ybs)
Was this right?
