Good Evening AllGood Evening!I'm Andrew; I live on the Isle of Wight. My family and I are all active members of Medina Marching Band. Medina Marching Band is a military styled youth marching band based on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. I have three children between the ages of 7 and 15. The youngest plays cymbals and the two older children play cornet and take an active roll in the band. There's not much time for anything else other than listening to quality music, preparing for band practice, creating scores etc. Unfortunately I have to go to work but I make sure there's time for my passion for one of the most respected youth marching bands in the UK. The band takes a lot of my time but the hard work is worth it! Medina Marching Band welcomes both established and new supporters! Support Medina Marching Band, keep an eye on our parades, carnivals and performances, visit our website and click on the events diary!

Hi Andrew.. (Patron Saint of me).. 
Welcome to the Forum..I'm sure if you hang around, you'll pick up a great many tips on all things marching and crashing.. I hope from the right sources, but from your location, I feel an intrusion coming on.... 
Good Luck, and keep music live but believable.....

Hi Andrew. I live on the North Island. Open yer window and give us a wave.  Medina marching band are well known around these parts. In fact you have a fair amount of ex Royal Marine Musicians that either still live on the Island, or have now emigrated to the North Island. It's possible you might be aware of Jon and Dave Yates and also a lad called Steve (Fishy) Salmon. Post well and prosper....Booty....

Welcome aboard Andrew, the island I live in is slightly more in the southern region of the globe and just a weeee bit larger.
Keep posting in the RMB mad-house. Good to have community bands looking in.

| RAB |
Hope there's not an anagram in there Brian...
|
||||
| Siegfried |
Sorry Booty - saving my pennies for the proposed move to France - but looking at Errols avatar - he seems burdened with weight...maybe he has loaded pockets ??
|
||||
| bootybandy |
Possibly....the last time I played was with two funny Scots guys...Ben Doon and Phil MCrevis.... |
||||
| Siegfried |
- ...not touching that one...
|
||||
| RAB |
Know them both well.. In fact I locked them up a few times in the good old days... (In seperate cells of course) They did ask if I knew you Brian...
|
||||
| Errol |
Not 'banged' them up then Rab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
||||
| RAB |
...Nice one Errol....

| Siegfried |

|
||||
| bootybandy |
I thought Mick Bolton was a cornet and violin holder....??? | ||||
| Errol |
He sure is SF. Very good gig.
|
||||
| Errol |
Sorry Booty, I don't know the Mick Bolton species but I expect He is'nt quite a good vocalist. Perhaps though in the bath he may have his moments !!!!!!!!!
|
||||
| Andrew |
Ummmm, I think I may have come in contact with some very interesting (if not slightly mad) people here, thank you for all your replys guys and girls! Its just great to read your posts and often off-the-wall comments! You lot certainly brighten up the day! | ||||
| Andrew |
Has Michael Bolton strayed from POP to Jazz? It may just be a rumour! Think I heard him on a recent radio 2 interview on Parky. Anyway who cares? Back to reality...........or something close! | ||||
| Errol |

|
||||

The mind boggles. I'ts been cracking weather down here in Kent,in fact yours truely has been topless this afternoon doing some gardening.

|
||||
| Siegfried |
It's true Rab - temps in the 60's here - and scheduled for the rest of this week... | ||||
| Errol |
It's a well known fact, that the mobile hose makes your vegetables
greener.
