static march played in a square/outside a pub or similar which is also 
adjudicated. Certain bands go, I understand, to try and win the marching 
aspect but most concentrate on the static march. Other concentrate on alcohol 
consumption. It is to Cantium Brass's credit that while the regular members 
concentrated on the playing, the concentration of the guest players wavered 
onto the alcohol from time to time.>

I think old Martyn is trying to mislead some of you here, in fact the video 
shows Cantium Brass marching in fine statue and in fact it was the static 
march playing that let us down badly. With the biggun at the helm, how could 
our marching  possibly turn into a street ramble, yes it was entertaining, 
but a ramble no.

Thanks once again Martyn for all your help, you certainly made an impression 
on the band, you are now down in Cantium's Book as the ledgendary "Gentle 
Giant Leg End."

I have been asked to forward an email from David, which I will send to you 
personally next week.

Regards

BRIDGETTE GOOLD
Principal Cornet (Cantium Brass)
