Re: What's everyone up to?
Still rehearsing with my brass band. Doing "Brass in the Park" near Edinburgh at the end of Aug. Will have to post on the RMB forum to see if any others are participating. I know there's a few closet brass bandies in there.

I hope you're spending more of your time off playing with kittens and generally being Mr Family Man than worrying about music Mr Bandmaster sir 
|
||||

Awwww poor Gromit
But i bet you are sporting a fab new haircut ! Thats bound to cheer you up of course ! |

i vote we have a massed volunteer band cull of Italian festival! | ||||
| greenfairy |
But I like Italian Festival - it brings a cheesy grin to my face when we play it
Me, I'd happily burn all Nelson copies of Marvin Arseface Showcase. Mainly as I feel anything that involves having to play The Entertainer should be destroyed. And then stamped in to a pulp before being buried in a bottomless pit and erased from the knowledge of humankind. I don't like it much 
|
||||
| ZedHorn |
hmmmm.... no guessing that!!! | ||||

It's my subtleness isn't it, people always comment on it

||||
| ZedHorn |
In 1988 Sylv I was 11.... I don't get it!!! | ||||
| The Donkey |
Seoul Olympics 1988. One Moment in Time was the official song of the US team.
How come I'm the same age as you, but I got it? Makes me feel old. Ciao |
||||
| ZedHorn |

| The Donkey |
And what's wrong with the theme from the A Team? | ||||
| ZedHorn |
