David Thornton writes;
“As well as Charley Brighton and his fantastic collection of Vintage euphoniums we will also have two other stands in our display room - Band Supplies Instruments and Accessories Retailers will be with us (so you can stock up on valve oil, metronomes and new euphoniums) and there will also be an exhibition of Brass Band Heritage Memorabilia.
The repertoire for the day has been chosen and will include an amazing transcription of the orchestral showpiece 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' by Paul Dukas. This will be performed by everyone (around 50 low brass performers) by the end of the day. We will have four smaller chamber groups on the day as well, rehearsing for an hour at 12.45, then peforming at 4pm. They have been topically named:
The John Clough Euphonium Ensemble (rehearsing in the Jubilee Room) with David Thornton
The Geoff Whitham Low Brass Band (rehearsing in Ghandi Hall) with Joe Cook and Danny Sinclair
The Derek Jackson Tuba Choir (rehearsing in Large Lecture Theatre) with Matt Routley and John Fench
The John Slinger Juniors (rehearsing in Small Lecture Theatre) with Gareth Daniel and Alex Kerwin
These smaller groups will work on pieces such as Beethoven's 'Egmont Overture', 'Euphoniums For You' by Japanese composer Yasuhide Ito and 'Cool Suite' by Peter Smalley.
The recital performance from Joe Cook and myself will include a piece for Marching Euphonium and Synthesized Accompaniment by Philip Wilby called 'Rock', as well as a piece called 'Dancing King' for Tuba and CD by American composer Jesse Ayes.
