PART FIVE -- BRASS BANDS
SECTION 10
FIFTH GRADE/UNAFFILIATED BRASS
TEST PIECE -- OWN CHOICE
  1. HYMN TUNE
  2. MARCH

No. 1 -- WARRENPOINT SILVER
              (Conductor: M. McCabe)

Test Piece -- Holy, Holy, Holy
Lovely, full sound, some lovely leaders of sections.  Suspension well played.  A few wrong notes in the horns.  Excellent dynamics and musicianship throughout.

Test Piece -- Slaidburn
Strong confident introduction.  Dotted rhythm observed carefully.  Big sound, trombones a little sharp.  Well played solo cornet.  Be careful that the sound is not overblown.  If you blow too hard you can lose focus of the tone quality.  This march was played with 'ease'.

I would suggest you challenge yourself more, pick a more difficult work!  Many thanks for your performance.
