We're playing this in my school band! Our director wrote it for a wind ensemble to include woodwinds. It actually didn't sound too bad. btw, we're a high school non-varsity band. lol
being rather new to this tradition, I was not familiar with this delightful march. Lucky for me, the first performance I hear is by Brighouse & Rastrick Band. Impressive. (so says a Yank)
Quality playing, yet very relaxed! (esp. the Sop!) Then again I suppose playing this all day is going to end up being a bit laid-back, even if it is one of a handful of the very BEST Marches in existence. I would award an extra prize (LAST) to the "dancing buffoon" in green who can't stay still while the band play. Annoying :-(
@thickinthead So it's worse - the dancing buffoon should know better. It's a contest, and if he can't stay still when the band are playing then, he is doing both the audience and the band a big disservice :-(
@bassoprimo You are referring to the rink master Dave Buckley, who is most certainly NOT a buffoon and without whose organisational skills and hard work you would have nothing to film. If his necessary moving about annoys you....stand somewhere else.

Something that always bothered me a bit when I was still playing in a band, is that some people keep talking while you play..
GOD BLESS THE SOPRANO CORNET PLAYER
Great soprano cornet
Oh really, any idea why he switched bands?
Love the uniform, where did you get it? Our flute band / corp of drums is after a new uniform.
