Agreed, and great to see that you're getting to know the repertoire, Dave.
There's some tricky writing for trom - and some very exciting music - in the
outer movements too. Incidentally the first band doesn't normally go on
stage at the RAH much before 10.00 so you'd have time for a good breakfast
and a couple of hours rehearsal...
Best wishes
