Rehearsal 11/07/11
Good rehearsal despite low numbers...19 in total.
Dropped some stuff as they didn'twork, but the ones that did were pretty good.
Worked on Southfield a bit more.....light and shade....sounding good.
R on tbn....think I'll leave him there...less bother...and sack all the other tbns!! :-0
(just joking guys)
K only bottom ender....
Still sounding good
We couldn't have done that, and sounded so good, a few years back.
Looking forward to Bedlington's gig on Saturday.

Lesbury Garden Party
Another cracking performance by the band.
Due to the weather we played in the church....superb acoustics.
Guest appearance of HC on trombone.
Played Solitaire at mp and mf......the first time ever. v good
(maybe all my bollocking has paid off)
Thought Grease was ex as well.
Half way through the first set the lights went out.....but the band played on......what a team.
I was proud of them all.
Once again, super grub...egg sarnies,cheese scones, a cup of tea and cream scones!!
We were a happy bunch!!

Rehearsal
Good crack tonight....
Tried Colonel Bogey... we can play quietly sometimes.
Must find the score for Tyne side Songs and rehash it...there's still bits I'm not happy with.
Horns were a bit naughty tonight.....makes a change from the trombone section.
