Whatever the rules position, am I the only person that is absolutely staggered
that a band or player wouldn't agree to play for the following band in this
way. 
It used to be one of my 2 remaining brass band ambitions to play at with the
band after me as a result of a doctors note, would have been particularly nice
at the Nationals or the Masters. The other ambition was to have got a really
jammy 1st place at a contest that was roundly condemned by all other
participating bands, but that has been fulfilled on a couple of occasions in
the last 2-3 years.
