Anyone got any ideas we can suggest for us to perform at MFM 2008? Anything that could be arranged?

I've plenty of suggestions, but alas none of them are serious ones!  

Will have a think on it though - mum suggested the Osmonds greatest hits but feel free to ignore that totally while I disown her

On a sensible note, and yes I do do them every now and then, my favourite piece of music ever is Albinoni's Adagio. I know you did it half a dozen or so years ago, but I do like it.

OK - on a sensible note, Ennio Morricone has written music to die for:

The 1981 theme tune to 'The Life and Times of David Lloyd George - Chi Mai (I am)

Gabriels Oboe from The Mission

Moving on: - Macarthur Park with super C Trumpets

Another Ennio Morricone piece - L'Arena from The Mercenary (Italian: Il mercenario) - Weird percussion to start, then a nice piece for flute, some mexican trumpeting and something for the Corps of Drums to slow march to (perhaps wearing sombreros!)

Hopefully you mean 2009.
Pedantry aside how about the brilliant trombone solo Sambezi by Philip Sparke

A solo on Bass Drum - it goes........

Boom, Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom

Yes, I know, it sounds a little like a poem from Blackadder!

I don't believe I missed a chance for pedantry. Bugger.
No, I do believe I missed it, because it happened and I was there.
What I mean is, I'm upset that I missed it.

Anyway, another suggestion for music; Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. I've no idea if there's a suitable arrangement though.
