Brassband Pro Rege: High Peak - NBK 2018 

I was lucky enough to attend the Dutch National in 2018. I heard all the performances of High Peak in this division of the contest. Firstly, this is one of Eric Ball's best works for brass band. There is not a note out of place. In my mind, I think of it as a tone poem depicting the adventures in climbing a great mountain. The trials overcome. The drudgery of the climb. A ferocious storm endured, but ending in the elation of reaching that high peak. Pro Rege played this difficult work extremely well and Anne van den Berg's reading of its score was exactly right. Lovely performance. Very enjoyable. PS1: Love the red braces. PS2: Mirasound do a good job, here, and when they recorded my own band at WMC 1993.

Band played very good. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Ok so can someone answer a question? Immediately to the right of the conductor are 2 euphoniums. Then, from right to left, are 2 players on what I would call saxhorns. Then a flugelhorn. Then 2 more saxhorns, but slightly smaller. Is that what these actually are, or are they called something else?
