    what a decision of a rare intelligence to put the trombones and especially the bass trombone in the front row! it is of supreme melodious taste!

      These guy are great players, but when you listen to them marching and you just listen to the screaming trombones and nothing else, it’s not with sure musical taste. Sorry I just say what my ears are listening to.

    Great performance indeed , but it always puzzles me why people listening to one of the world's best brass bands decide to talk all the way through it ?

      @@JamieHuntLCFC Why would I make the previous comment if I was the one jawing?????? FYI - I try not to block others view who might have been sitting there for the evening meaning there is no easy answer at somewhere like Greenfield. The camera is mounted on a monopod, not a selfie stick but just by holding it in the air isn't going to mean it won't record all the noise going on around, and you never quite know what picture you're recording as you can't see the monitor when its 5' up in the air.

      The adjudicator is in there! In each contest they will have them in different situations, some in rooms inside and I've even known a small lorry (truck!) used with the rear shutter up to let in air & sound but only raised enough so the incarcerated judge couldn't see which band was playing......... you couldn't make it up, trust me!

      I wish more bands would be adventurous Alfred - KT, Ravenswood, President, Mephi - but there are so many other cracking marches out there that never see the light of day. New ones have come along such as The Wizard being re-discovered, but it's the same thing year after year sadly!!!

      Afraid so Alfred. Whilst it, and half a dozen others, are classic contest marches I certainly wish bands were more adventurous with their choices as there are so many relatively unplayed ones out there - I can think of about four more of George Allan's that would test the best, not to mention any number unknowns by Rimmer.

      The problem is Andrew that the locals come out, see someone they haven't seen for a while, have a chpos and catch up, it's how it works I suppose. When you're filming there you can't escape it unfortunately and without the public there it wouldn't be the same, so 'catch 22' really!
