Unfortunately Ron you were not able to be present at a number of 
rehearsals at both Kew and Brunswick Bands.  I was only home for a 
short while but decided to bring back music that wasn't available in 
Australia.  I conducted the Kew band at a concert which included 
music from Norway and the UK.  I do hope to put a lot back into the 
Movement in Aus but one month is not enough to do that.  I hope that 
the input I gave back to my old band, gives them the inspiration and 
maybe the drive to be hungry for new experiences and most of all new 
music. 

I agree that the bands everywhere turn over a lot of players, but 
times have changed and so have lifestyles, so for anyone from any 
country to be able to do a concert or a rehearsal or even a contest, 
is the greatest experience for a band or brass player.  I hope we can 
encourage more of this in the future.  We have much to offer the 
English bands as they do to their Australian, New Zealand or any 
oversease banding counterparts.   

cheers
Matt....
