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 actually couldn't play cos their hands were so cold!

But it was excellent and an honour to be asked to play there and it was our first TV appearence (of 2!)
