University of Portsmouth Wind Band
First rehearsal is at 1830-2030 in room 109, Wiltshire Building (on Hampshire Terrace) on the 10th of October!
I ordered my first music today, and I'll be buying a lot more when I know who I've got.
And everyone should join it damn it!

greenfairy
|
Wel lyou know I can't make it. Which is probably a good thing as it won't scare the poor wee students away first time!
|
A
|
As long as you're there for the rest!
And EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN!

I was staring at the Hampshire Boulevard about 10 minutes ago.
Was dragged to the Registry by my bro and his mates.
I've never felt so bloody old in my life

hon, I'm sorry I can't make you're first rehearsal either, work you know, very irritating getting in the way of the social life
|

|
That's ok, we're unlikely to play much that day, it's more of a meeting to sort out who I've got etc

Have any of you ever experienced HB??  It's awesome...
|
greenfairy

That would involve being sociable. And I don't do sociable.

GF....  I don't believe that for one second.... every other muso I have met and worked with has been sociable... 
|
greenfairy
|
I try, I'm just not very good at it and hate the blank stares from people every time I try to say something. Obviously the masses just can't cope with an insane person (although I don't think I am)

HB on Karaoke night is a sight to behold....
|
greenfairy

Karioke is the work of the devil. Especially Monday nights at the Mary Rose 
|

Seriously, HB is the funniest thing ever.

Aww, GF, well that is their loss.... I reckon we would get along just fine....
|
greenfairy

Guess I'll have to be sociable one time to find out.

|
Talking of sociable, after Thursdays rehearsal I will be in need of a drink. Pub anybody?
|
greenfairy
|
Maybe, see how things go.
|
A
|
Trustr me, I'm conducting. I will NEED alcohol. Copious amounts of.
|
greenfairy
|
I could just buy a bottle of vodka on my way to rehearsal?
|
A
|
No archers?
|
greenfairy
|
I don't buy girlie drinks 
And I'm going to bed now so

Which pub are you thinking of?? I might just surprise you all and turn up....
|
A
|
Wethers probably. And you could turn up if you like, we're probably still not going to know who you are.
I may vaguely recognise you but I vaguely recognise and awful lot of bandies.

It was just a guess, being on the RMB forum and all.

According to my sources you are a bandy.

we went to a pub near GF's as they were asking for ID in town and at my age I don't carry it...
its cos these annoying students are back in town for the start of term...

We have to go to that pub again. Much better plan as it makes walking home somewhat more bearable.

That's what I mean.. it was a 'gooood' Fleet trip! Mick Goss's face was a picture when that keyboard player flashed up in the subway, though! As for the 'misuse' of that cleaners cupboard.. well.....
