Consider the fine band, Grimethorpe as in yours, on Friday last LTTB even for half an hour about eight trivial pieces (including a quick march at almost slow march speed), WHY cannot radio 3 0r 2 do better than this on a regular basis? It's a good question, which also came up at the after-lunch forum, though in this case in the context of concert programming rather than the radio. If that meeting was anything to go by, the banding movement is split in two camps on this, and the two camps don't share much common ground. I am of the "let's please all of the people some of the time" opinion, but I seemed to be in a small minority because I had a foot in both camps. Perhaps you should contact the NABBC to find out when the next meeting is that's close to you and ask! The next meeting near where you live, Eric, is in a couple of weeks time in Leicester and will include a session to "Ask the Adjudicators" - why not ask them what constitutes a good programme for broadcast, for concerts, or for a so-called entertainment contest. -Nigel begin:vcard fn:Nigel Horne n:Horne;Nigel org:NJH Music email;internet:njh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.bandsman.co.uk version:2.1 end:vcard
