Brass Band Music etc. In Britain, a brass band is a musical ensemble comprising a standardized range of brass and percussion instruments. The modern form of the brass band in the United Kingdom dates back to the 19th century, with a vibrant tradition of competition based around communities and local industry, with colliery bands being particularly notable.

I was there on the day , in all my National Championships finals as a listener, this was without doubt the FINEST , seated up in the GODS where Alan Morrison played from , magic , stunning , and all of the rest of the superlatives 100 % magic .
"People" was composed by Jule Styne while the great Stanley Black wrote a beautiful arrangement of it for trumpet and orchestra, which he recorded first with the London Festival Orchestra and after many years re-recorded conducting the BBC Concert Orchestra. The version shared on this video is obviously inspired in Black´s arrangement.
Seconded. We need more Butterworth and this is a fine recording and performance. Yet it's a shame the blistering NZ-contest-winning performance from Wormald Brass (1990) isn't available. (Though a smidgen rough in places, it was hair-raisingly intense from start to finish.)
And lucky me, I was there.. The most memorable test piece in my time. When I lived in London I went to the Nationals nearly every year. I'm now 83 and live in Wales within reach of Cory, arguably the current best band. My mate, Bob, (RIP, Old Chap) used to say you could always tell a good test piece if when you went to relieve yourself during the contest the ranks of band enthusiastic were humming, whistling, pom pom pomming a theme tune while attending to the needs of nature. This piece filled the bill perfectly...😊😊
A beautiful duet beautifully played. My wife and I hosted David Daws in our home when the ISB were at the now defunct corps in Halifax West Yorkshire. How unfortunate it was that David's cornet playing days came to such a premature end. By the way it was good to be able to follow the soloists' score
