Nishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we miss you.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Saturday marching in the drill shed was fun - for all 6 of us that turned up including CMN on cornet(!).
But hey us 6 can nearly go round corners now!!!

Shreeking Twigs and Squeaky Twigs are different instruments. Piccolo and Eb Clarinet to give them their correct names, but they should both be plaited. (Hope I've spelt that one correct)

Piccs should all be destroyed. Hate the damn instrument (and even more so now it seems I'm solo picc for the festival....not amused)

I don't want to know about piccolo plating - I've seen my fair share of piccolos (and dodgy plating) to last me a lifetime last month, having rebuilt five of them after having had all the keys plated (and replated in some cases as the platers didn't do a great job) for the Sultanate of Oman.

And another piccolo I had plated and rebuilt has gone missing in US customs instead of back to it's owner in Arkansas where it should have been over a month ago.

If you do f*ck up, do it with confidence!

And say it's meant to be like that.
