don't enable HTML when you're writing to the list. The list processor
mangles this sort of mail, making the HTML bit useless.

That puts most of the horizontal-bell instruments facing the audience,
which will most certainly change the whole character of the band.

This is how an orchestral brass section is arranged, but the brass band
arrangement appears to me to be deliberately arranged so that no bell
faces the audience, the better to blend presumably. I suppose you could use
trumpets instead of cornets to complete the change :-)
