I just heard the band playing and they are sounding Wonderful. Heard them awhile back and they were just OK, Much Better Now!! Still wish they played more traditional brass band pieces instead of pieces that are adapted for brass band. But, still all in all a wonderful, entertaining show, the band has defiantly grown up a lot.

Having recently come across the pond, I eagerly anticipated my first concert in the States, hoping to hear a classic British Brass Band. The shrill, shrieking tone, the out of tune caterwalling, imprecise playing and the singularly distasteful dour personage of the Music Director left me waiting for the interval, whereupon I could sneak out, all ...

Maybe the current crop of Cornet players will be able to turn this band around.

However the band leadership is very poor and the Music Director seems to have lost touch long ago.

I guess this is just a "fun" hobby sort of group.

Oh, my poor ears! Stay away!
