I don't know that piece, so I can't say whether it really was that
difficult, but I feel sure that this is better than the situation last
March in class 4, where I felt as if I was competing in a lottery. How
adjudicators are expected to order 30+ bands, the majority of whom
played Indian Summer without technical blemish, is anyone's guess. And
the ordering, even in the middle reaches, does matter.
