Phew! I think I’ve sorted the band out for the upcoming Milton Keynes contest now. I’d forgotten to put down one of our cornet players but the organiser has kindly agreed to add his name. Also our new trombone player, Kenny, should have his transfer completed just in time to play too, which is good considering that on Tuesday I didn’t think we were going to be able to field a trombone section.

Hopefully from now on things should be a lot simpler now that we’ve got pretty much a full compliment of players on our membership register. It’s just persuading them to play at the contests that will be the problem, but I’ll leave that up to Martyn , our musical director!
