Nearly weeping with nostalgia here at how many times I've played this over the years. Sadly I can't play any more, but my passion for brass bands will live with me forever.
Wow! So many memories of playing this many years ago with Tredegar Youth Band in Pontins Youth B Section in Prestatyn. Bill Cross conducting. We tried our best. Such happy times.
Played it at my first ever Area in 1975 in the Youth Section at Watford Town Hall. Also remember the top section playing Journey Into Freedom. A great piece and so well crafted as always from the pen of Eric Ball.
Eric Ball shines above every composer of brass music and always will. No-one else comes close no matter how hard they try. His music will stand the test of time for centuries.
This is brass! The sweet sound of the trombones and baritons! Brassbands now a days playing to loud and the music they playing is no music but a bunch of crappy chords.

Played this with Ashton Grammar School Band in early 70's. We thought we were the bee's knees. Fabulous times - RIP Barrie Cheshire our conductor.
