Fishburn - Band 18

Big sound for opening chords, not always together on entrance though unfortunately.

Cornet and Euphonium duet is lovely, a couple of clips but top note is perfect from both. Bravo.

Nice Trombone sound in first section. Beautiful Flugel solo sound, easy to listen to and played beautifully.

A slight mistiming error, but flows nicely into next section.

Section goes well with great contrast in dynamics.

Effects work well, I’d like a bit more of an exaggeration with them personally however this doesn’t take away from the fact they work.

Nice crescendo work into a full band sound.

Effects carry on working well, a small mistiming error but this does not affect the lead into the Off-Stage cadenza.

This works well, a couple of small clips but nothing major and this works well. Bravo all.

Euphonium taking over, cadenza is performed very well. Definitely up there with the best today. Duet is good, a couple clips during but navigated through well.

Dynamic contrast works well. Some of the semi-quaver runs aren’t quite together but the majority are.

Some good percussion, that help hold the band in shape before leading into the quieter lead up to the main theme.

Full band sound is really good, rich in colour.

Main theme starts well, the occasional clipped note but this does not detract from the performance.

Some lovely Tenor Horn playing before being taken over by the Trombone. Unfortunately parts of this struggle to stay together and lack the punch I believe this needs. Good ending to this section.

Solos work well and are played beautifully by all involved. Bravo to all.

Opens into the lovely final tune which is being belted out beautifully.

Crescendos beautifully to the end of the piece and a fantastic final chord. Bravo.
