Whew, even typing that list makes me tired.
For those of you on the Trombone list, this band uses only four
trombones, as opposed to the regular British Band (norm) of three.
They normally are as follows:
Two players on First Trombone
One player on Second Trombone
One player on Bass Trombone

For my American friends on the Brass Band list, this is your
opportunity to hear a top British Brass Band. Their repetoire is
usually composed of mostly Salvation Army compositions, much of it
very demanding. There will in all liklihood be something of a
classical nature as well which has been arranged for Brass Band.
The Soloists are usually David Daws, arguably one of the very top
cornet players in Britain today; Andrew Justice - a very smooth
and controlled trombone player; Kevin Ashman - a top notch
Euphonium player.

Sorry, I do not have any info on their programmes or the pieces
they will be playing, but in all likelihood we will be hearing the
playing of Odyssey - which is the Championship Piece selected for
the European Brass Band Contest this year.

If you need information as to how to obtain tickets, and details,
contact the local Salvation Army near you who if they cannot give
you the information should be able to obtain it from their local
Divisional Headquarters.

Larry White
