Epaulette's

Heya everyone, bit of a random question. I was wondering if anyone had any spare shoulder slides for Nelson band. I've got allmy uniform but there are no slides at the moment, was wondering if I might be able to borrow some for the concert on Saturday evening.

Many thanks
Apricot

sorry I'll be using mine! Quite a few people don't have any so don't be too worried, you'll have to ask Neil to get you some when he orders some more.

I haven't got any either. Never had any

Lucky you, I dont have any uniform as yet!

I heard one of the cornet players has an extra set - though I doubt you'll have much luck in borrowing them.

I haven't got any epaulettes either, neither has Ants or Annie. There's meant to be some on order, but as and when they'll arrive is another thing.

I didn't even have a badge for my No.s 1s for 8 whole years....you're complaining about lack of epaulettes????

It's a newbie thing, you don't have complete uniform til you've been doing this for a decade or more!

Now....if you had a proper Bandy (Like Ian Naylor) he'd make sure you had all your kit before you were expected to use it.

Anyone wanna see my elephant?

Thought not...
Chrissie B

Hornblower - is this yours?

Processional elephant horn with detachable carriage. Four mouthpieces, two on the end of the trunk and one in each tusk, allow several people to play it at once.

I thought I'd managed to ditch that! Where did you find it? (BTW, there's no reward)

That elephant head smelt foul and I have to say that I got some very rude comments when I was stood playing it (at either end!)

Please be so kind as to e bay it or something and I will be billing you for the therapy I now need.
