well done to Axl who has now made the dizzy heights of 2nd Piccolo.
If he keeps posting at this rate he'll make solo picc just in time for the stupidly fast and dizzily high solo in let's rock... Anne standby!!

Let's rock? Let's have a gentle stroll in the park, followed by a small helping of blancmange more like! The Middy is what you want.
*note to everyone, the above is a lie. Anne, it's still all yours*

I still think the rankings on here are all wrong - why are the woodwind ones all at the bottom???

I shan't answer that properly :-)
however I think it's supposed to be like a marching band - you liquorice lickers at the back, trombones and tubbies up front just behind the drum corps - quite exactly where a bass guitar fits in is a little beyond my blonde brain!

Yup, that's about the sum of it!
The bass guitar was a temporary measure to pad the band out. There is a thread here somewhere about forum ranks and your ideas. Someone suggest something and I'll make it so (a rank structure that is).

I agree. It should be tubby, in the singular.

All you need is a special German- Gromit -double- hexy- expresso to make your pupils the size of dinner plates and you'll be off, like James Gallway on acid!
