Wow that's really cool! We did the lord mayor's parade last year with my army cadet band and we were on TV for five whole minutes! It was absolutely, positively, the coldest gig i have ever done in my life. We had to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning and a horn player and a flute player actual...

Woah! I'm not generalising and saying that no southerners have a full sound. no one said that yorkshire bands can't play pppp. I agree that anyone can have a big sound if they work at it and do it correctly. But i'm not sure what your point is in this statement. [quote="traosb"]I disagree....

C - 0
Db - 1,2,3
D - 1,3
Eb - 2,3
E - 1,2 or 3
F - 1
Gb - 2
G - 0
Ab - 2,3

Bb - 1
B - 2
C - 0
Db - 1,2
D - 1
Eb - 2
