Yes.  I'm sure it's the best of the bunch for 2001, with the possible
exception of Jazz, unless you have to play it.  The first section piece 'The
Undaunted' looks a less happy choice on first perusal.  I'll reserve
judgement until I know it better but have never been a big fan of Ball's.

Actually this was in fact the first set of Regional testpieces chosen by the
British Federation, not the NCC panel.  I'd hate to think what the
consequences might be, were you to congratulate Alan Hope on his choice of
pieces!
