interesting rehearsal!!!<br /> <br /> Stuck in the bar so a bit noisy.<br /> <br /> Dropped 3 pieces that weren't up to the mark, so programme for wednesday night is shorter.<br /> However better to do a good short performance than a rubbish longer one.<br /> <br /> Looking forward to the gig.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

gig at Bamburgh Castle on Sat 17/12/2011.<br /> Freezing night, and a chilly windy walk up to the castle.<br /> Full house, band played well.<br /> <br /> Superb mulled wine and mince pies at half time.<br /> <br /> Not much feedback from the Audience to A's jokes, nor could I hear much singing, but they seemed to enjoy it.<br /> <br /> Last gig of the year, so nice to finish with a good one.<br /> <br /> Other outside gigs were Alnwick Lights Switch On 25/11/2011.....freezing night<br /> Alnwick Xmas Mkt!! freezing day again<br /> <br /> Ellington School Carol Concert...inside this time....appallingly bad jokes from the head!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

a rehearsal in St Michaels Church,Alnwick.<br /> Great acoustics!!<br /> <br /> Started off with Mendelssohn Overture ..really impressive for a first play through.<br /> Sounded good with the trumpet and euph/tbn and tuba.<br /> <br /> Another rehearsal should crack it....if the woodwind practise the tricky middle bit.<br /> <br /> R Strauss Serenade sounded really good..just about performance ready....but does need more horns to give it a fuller sound.<br /> <br /> Wagner Siegfried Idyll....tried a little bit...not good...may put that one on the back boiler until we have cracked the other 4.(it will take more work)<br /> <br /> Finished off with some Mozart and Dvorak....both desperately missing the double bass.<br /> <br /> BUT in total, a good nights rehearsal.<br /> <br /> Mostly sounded very good.<br /> <br /> Well done guys/gals!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

to band after a week off.<br /> Tried out some new stuff...<br /> <br /> Carole King....sounded good on the first play through.<br /> <br /> Dug out Barnum which we last tried about 5 years ago...<br /> last time we couldn't play it, this time it sounded reasonable and we got through it...the standard has improved....despite the fact it's a rubbish print from a Holland publisher...bar numbers on parts don't tie up, 1st/2nd time bars missed off etc.etc.<br /> <br /> Porgy and Bess much better this second time through.<br /> <br /> Gilbert and Sullivan medley....getting there, but I couldn't stand rehearsing it for too long!!<br /> <br /> Decided to ask George to take the band next week as i'm away the week after, and &nbsp;I will be back late for the gig.George will take the gig.<br /> <br /> Played hn at the end in Malaguena...couldn't see George's beat from where I was sitting, so a bit of a nightmare...still I enjoyed it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

spoken to Lorena.<br /> <br /> We now have 40 members in the band, which is a figure we haven't been at for a long time.<br /> <br /> Think we achieved that in the early years of the band, when we had a mixture of 50/50 adults/students.<br /> <br /> We had students from both local schools and Newcastle schools--the students lived in the Alnwick area.<br /> <br /> Who knows-we may get some more.<br /> <br /> I feel the alto sax section is now complete,so we will have to start a waiting list for any one else who plays alto.<br /> <br /> All other sections can absorb more members at the mo.<br /> <br /> BTW there is still an alto clarinet sitting in the cupboard---any volunteers gratefully recd.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

believe we're starting a new season next Monday, seems like we've never stopped.<br /> Last 3 months have been really busy..<br /> June 22--The big one. We played for her Maj.<br /> 3 Gigs in July including the 2 classical gigs<br /> 5 Gigs in August (+ trumpet fanfare)....good going<br /> <br /> Classical ones were well received despite some peoples' misgivings, and I believe playing the classical stuff has improved the standard of musicianship in the band.<br /> We certainly have improved and keep on improving...we are now sight reading stuff we couldn't have a while back.<br /> So well done all of you for your hard work.<br /> I know I don't always say that was brill...usually "that's not bad" but that's just me.(it often is pretty good)<br /> I do appreciate your hard work.<br /> <br /> We've had as usual some band changes: newbies, leavers and babies.(and a guest appearance Helen Carey)<br /> <br /> <br /> Special thanks to:<br /> <br /> Ron,George,Derek, for stepping in when needed, to cover any vacancies in varying sections of the band,and for anyone else who has played different music at gigs when we are short of people.<br />

3rd clart..well done.<br /> Even Mama Mia was a sucess.<br /> <br /> Tea and scones/cakes at half time..very tasty.<br /> <br /> Nobody in the band won anything in the raffle...must be a first.<br />

cracking performance.<br /> <br /> Gorgeous day, the sun shone.....our first gig in ages in Sunshine.<br /> Mr Hogg's first appearance at a summer gig this year.<br /> <br /> Bit blowy, so the magnets were put to full use.(and even some clothes pegs!!)<br /> Miss Alice Paul mislaid her magnets, so a fine will be levied !!!<br /> <br /> Sarah Elliot, on Alto (a newish band member), enters the hall of fame at no 10....for forgetting her magnets at the start of the second set.(not as bad as having to go off for music, but still worth a lowish entry on the chart)<br /> Currently :<br /> <br /> 1. Glen Hogg: Music in Lagny Cathedral<br /> 2. Allan Jones: Music in Bedlington<br /> 10. Sarah Elliot: Magnets in Warkworth<br /> 25. Alice Paul: Magnets in Warkworth<br /> <br /> Entry to the chart is arbitrary and entirely at my discretion!!<br /> <br /> Any band member is eligible!<br /> <br /> Biggest crowd in a long time, think they liked our choice of music.<br /> <br /> First set started on time..followed by tea and carrot cake in the tent..Yummy!!<br /> <br /> Magic Myrtle didn't turn up on time, so she started late...<br /> <br /> Then we seemed to have hours and hours of kid's fancy dress.<br /> <br /> Then loads and loads of highland and clog dancing...all looked the same to me!!<br /> <br /> Eventually we started second set later than scheduled, and we were told off for overrunning....because Magic Myrtle was ready to start........... (no comment necessary)<br /> <br /> Finished with Instant Conc...<br /> <br /> We had a varied selection of hats from ....George,Sheila and Paul.....maybe we need to adapt an official band hat!!<br /> Any ideas?<br /> <br /> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2809683130564951008-3175337090181970996?l=apconcertband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/F1t6Okkabx_Eowg6ZV4RxWc2JkQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/F1t6Okkabx_Eowg6ZV4RxWc2JkQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/F1t6Okkabx_Eowg6ZV4RxWc2JkQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/F1t6Okkabx_Eowg6ZV4RxWc2JkQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AlnwickPlayhouseConcertBand/~4/IPE7onG22Sk" height="1" width="1"/>mrmusichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736859211448054670noreply@blogger.com0http://apconcertband.blogspot.com/2011/08/warkworth-show-200811.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809683130564951008.post-55478256038727532882011-08-21T11:01:00.000+01:002011-08-21T11:01:09.934+01:002011-08-21T11:01:09.934+01:00Here is the full video of the opening ceremony.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/_5Cf9nxknoo/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_5Cf9nxknoo&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_5Cf9nxknoo&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>Video once again by PedalBikerUK<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2809683130564951008-5547825603872753288?l=apconcertband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZdmcCKzBR8oyo1pgX8sVsEk3WN8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZdmcCKzBR8oyo1pgX8sVsEk3WN8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZdmcCKzBR8oyo1pgX8sVsEk3WN8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZdmcCKzBR8oyo1pgX8sVsEk3WN8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AlnwickPlayhouseConcertBand/~4/aapNQ9Nq1qM" height="1" width="1"/>mrmusichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736859211448054670noreply@blogger.com0http://apconcertband.blogspot.com/2011/08/wilkinsons-shop-opening_21.html
