	I don't think I ignored you... I honestly don't recall seeing your
"first post".  Maybe it didn't make it to the mailing list?  Anyway,
welcome!

	We're not in the US, but we're in North America, at least, so I
appreciate a little some of the differences brass bands over here live
with, compared to those in the UK. Examples are: dearth of some
instruments (e.g., cornets, alto horns) and people who play them, no
history or infrastructure for local or regional competitions, no local
music stores who stock music for brass band, no tradition of corporate
sponsorship for bands, etc.  If you'd like to discuss some of those
topics, please feel free to email me.
