As I remember the piece was 'Lowry Sketch Book' (Philip Wilby) and at the
Midlands Area there was one band who played the part (not a short part
either) on a proper Marimba.  The rest of us played it on the lower-end of
the Xylophone, which didn't sound bad was wasn't right.  Trouble is, if all
bands play it on  Xylophone and the odd one actually have a Marimba, then
they have an unfair advantage on the rest of us!  Just a thought - if a BBA
chooses to allow a Xylophone in place of a Marimba, then surely they should
insist that a Xylophone be used (i.e. it is an official change to the test
piece, not just a 'let you off with') such that financially over equipped
bands don't have an advantage.
