Thank you
I could wrtie all your names down and thank you one by one you all worked so hard but I can't be bothered SO ;-)
I just post a short thank you from me. Many congratulations on a fine days playing. Mention must go to Tom Seal and Robert Nicholson for their top class solo work.
My personal thanks to all the adult helpers and particularly The Wilson Family, Elling and the Nicholson Family who helped me clear the coach at the end of the day :-)
Will try to follow up on Melvin White work shop.
I was struck by how many people spoke to me and congratulated us on our performance. Even thought we didn't know who they all where but they wanted to pass on their comments.
Good stuff x

Adjudication
Adjudication - David Reed
Vectis Youth - Music 44/60 Entertainment 26/30 Deportment 8/10
Roman Wall
Good confident start. Remember to play 4/4 not 6/8. I could take a little more sound - but it must be be tune
She moved through the fair
Pleasing sounds heard to open. Nice tenor sounds as we progress but not always in tune. note values correct. Well controlled.
Chicken Run
Good attempt at detail, you enjoy this. Good perc noted. Do be careful of correct note values. At J a little uncomfortable in the many time changes - a complex piece, negotiated quite well.
Bass in the Ballroom
Band just a little loose to open. Soloist is confident. Valse - well done - Cadenza - good!! A very promising player indeed - well done.
Gaudette
Interesting - well done for singing. Well presented and you keep us interested.
Well thought out programme only only one or two musical lapes as mentioned

SCABA Entertainment Contest

Below is the latest SCABA blurb about the next youth band contest:
The Entertainment Contest, will be held at its traditional venue, The Hawth Theatre, Hawth Avenue, Crawley, RH10 6YZ. The contest takes place on Sunday 17th May 2009. The Hawth is one of the best theatres in the country and is ideally suited to our contest. Everything is under one roof and there is a large car and coach park attached to the theatre. The contest will retain the format that has proved most successful in the past, with separate time limits for the Stage Setting and Performance elements, with an entry limit of 18 bands in total, 9 in each of the two sections. The music is an “Own Choice” entertainment programme of 24 minutes duration and the adjudicator, for this event, will be David Read.
