A committed opening with a good balanced band
sound. E was stylish if rather loud! Cornet plays
with musicality at K. The accompaniments are contributing.
Take care not to overdo the crescendo cornets at N.
P works well. Dynamic detail to close. Your reprise
of allegro is very positive and rhythmic. U is very
musically phrased. Y is splendid and the close was
well paced.
Little Hymn
Effective opening and so well balanced. Well
controlled from bar 17 and good shape to follow.

The soloist displays a very good sense of
musicality (I like the sound!) and the accompaniments listen
- good!!
Showstoppa
A good sound - well balanced. Good control
from A with very good rhythm and the solo spots work
well (including perc. of course).
Well done!

Bright start. B - watch tempo is constant
here. E - great bass work here. Keep horn line singing
here. J - very well handled here. K - great
work from soloist here - well done. Watch that accompaniment
moves exactly together at all times. M - good attention
to detail here. Very musical rendition. P - nice
dynamic detail. Euph solo is a great sound keep above the
accompaniment. Q - Allegro is neatly managed. S
- great dynamic work. U - good change of mood/style.
X - watch balance here - keep horns and euphs strong.
Y - controlled grandioso sound.
Little Hymn
Watch ensemble at the start and keep dynamics
down. Warm sound at bar 17. Watch tuning - in a few
exposed places there are inconsistencies. A little untidy
into last few bars.
Domen
What a great soloist - very accomplished performer
with great stage presence and full, even and rounded tone
- excellent. Good support from the band - sensitive accompaniments.
Showstoppa
Full sound - very exciting. Excellent percussion
work - well done. Great solos around the band. What a treat
- very enjoyable and played with such commitment and style.
Congratulations
