A week to the Yorkshire Area Contest
Well the week before the Yorkshire Area Finals is here. That annual event
that sees brass bands enthusiasts listen to the same piece of music being
played by about 17 times. Only brass bands could do that, and they charge
to get in too! Leigh Baker hands over the reigns to Kevin Wadsworth for the
final week of rehearsals. The test piece is New World Sketches, an original
composition for brass band by Dan Price. It’s an interesting piece of
music that the band is thoroughly enjoying.Like many bands we are struggling
for that sound, not Glen Miller…. a car hooter. Do we go electrical,
mechanical or antique? . Simon
