Band Rehearsal 18/07/11
Big Chris back on Euph tonight..
Tried some new stuff tonight (as well as old stuff)
Southfield...we like it!
Tried floral dance for the first time...eventually got the hang of it
Struggled with Children's March.....just a play through.....will try it again....in September......
Think it'll be OK once people know it, and give it a chance.
Dvorak new world last movt...not a bad attempt the first time through...better the 2nd time, when I tried it a bit faster.....bit tricky and fast for the clarts!! Will work at it in September as well

Bedlington Gig: my thoughts.......
Cracking gig...band played pretty really well despite being much reduced in numbers.
2 flutes,5clts,3 saxes,2 tpts,3hns,R on tbn,1 euph,bass and drums.
Really good audience...about 50 I think..they seemed to appreciate the mix of classical and modern
Despite the weather...it p...d down all afternoon.
Nice venue...good acoustics....would be good to play there again sometime.
4 o'clock start....maybe an idea for the future,if we're playing to an older audience?
Something to think about??
Many thanks to Katherine for stepping in to do the flute duet with Claire...very nice.
Pam had sunburn...
Thanks to Alice who got in touch with K for me and Claire for sorting it.
George did a good job as compere!!
The naughty step for Alison who had to go and fetch her baby clarinet for Hall of the Rocking King
and for big Al who didn't have any music for Instant Concert.
Well done the Horns....must be the first gig they've all got to.
P the band photographer took a snap to confirm it.
Food....tea and bikkies.....Ok for a wet afternoon

Today's Gig
Just in after a hectic studio jazz evening at the Playhouse.
Quick drink to relax, then tomorrow,no it's now today,we're off to Bedlington...our first ever visit.
Looking forward to it....even though it's a 4.00 o'clock kick off.
Def a first for us.

Venues
Looking at the map, we haven't ever been over to Rothbury or Wooler.(We have done Thropton a few times and Alwinton last year)
We must try and rectify that in the future.
