Paddy Donovans score to The Australian Ladies was one of the first marches I learnt. The band sounds great hear👌👌
Gorgeous sound and a nice selection of interesting tunes. I am very much looking forward to hearing the 78th at The Worlds in August.
Two comments. 1. It's been a while since I have heard the band playing so well at this level. Of course, its always been very good but this performance raised the bar a click or two. 2. I am sure you know about Paddy Donovan but for those who don't, this tune was composed by the late great snare drum legend, Alex Duthart. Paddy was an Irish snare drummer who Alex admired very much. I enjoyed this medley!
Love that opener!
Absolutely fabulous!
Bobby, yer a gent for saying so. Thank you.
I’ve always loved this tune! Band sounds great, Michael!
Thanks kindly.
Brilliant, but no surprise there!!!!
The band was happy to get outside and play! Thanks, Donna.
Sounds great Michael!
Thanks on behalf of the band!
Very innovative start with PD as a 12/8…. completely new idea compared to George Kidd’s score….. Well Done!!
I was there today with Greater Midwest!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Michael, absolutely fabulous. Glad I was able to see this the other day. This is Luke btw. Do you know where I could find sheet music for Paddy Donovan?

Not. So. Sure. Strange. Material sound not 2bad
this is the best band north america has ever seen. Too bad Shotts is still better and just playing jimmy's gift lol what a world.
I honestly was not expecting to hear something remonicent to toronto police from he 78th, im obsessed with both of medley.
My only gripe is that the north star was slightly messy compared to everything else. Apart from that first class medley
Like all competing bands, we keep doing our best!
100% honest here, the tune selection is cracked out. I like Michael quite alot but it seems like he was hitting the pipe when writing this medley. Regardless, I hope the band does well at worlds.
Plain winning.
Thanks for saying so, JB.
