I’m quite new to the brass band world, I play 3rd cornet in a third section band. Taking part in my first area contest in Stevenage in March (London and Southern Counties).

Anyone else?

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroadsYou won’t regret it - lots of fun. Flugel is a fabulous instrument and often a very desirable seat in a brass band - and has a lot of solos - so maybe it would be good to start on cornet and work up to flugel )if you’re starting from scratch).

And also, there is a brass band version of ‘Life on Mars’!

There is! Think it's still in our fete folders!

We're off to Ghent in a couple of weeks. I do not feel ready. Got 2 concerts and then a service at Menin Gate.
