Well - I think I got away with it - I am not a euphonium player. However I think there was only one piece where the bull failed me and I just had to go silent, by the time I had worked out what the notes were it was too late to try to play them. I am used to leger lines above the staff, but not that many above!
More disappointment in that we weren't in the bandstand, but on the plus side there was a bar, and a lot of money was raised for Kidney Research UK.
I now start looking forward to the next performance, which is stick waving with Croydon Brass next Saturday. The band has not taken on many summer jobs this year so each one is a big event for me. Final rehearsal is tomorrow evening when I need to finalise a programme, so off now to look through the scores and make some decisions.
If you have been - thank you for reading, and please leave feedback
You're more a euphonium player than I am a drummer! At least the euph works in approximately the same way as a tuba. You try blowing a drum kit!!!
