All,

Having read the comments about the marches last Friday I thought I would add 
some comments of my own. Going to the marches has been one of my ambitions 
for quite a while now and I finally managed to achieve it on Friday when I 
guested with Wantage Silver. I had a fantastic day - the atmosphere was 
brilliant - it's just one of those things that you "Have to be there" to 
really appreciate what brass banding is all about.

Despite it taking hours for us to get there and hours to get back again it 
was really worth making the journey from "Down South" to "Up North" just to 
take part in this great event. There are few bands in the London and 
Southern counties area who go up to the marches for one reason or another 
and all I can say is that they really don't know what they are missing out 
on. Watching "Brassed Off" is one thing but actually taking part is 
something else! I'm really looking forward to it next year!

Many thanks to everyone at Wantage Silver who made Friday such a memorable 
day.
