Set the scene..Rochdale Town hall...Huge, Victorian-gothic building with great vaulted ceilings. Our own choice piece for the contest...Hinemoa.
Little old dear with a blue rinse sat on the front row, just pulled out a yoghurt and lifted the top off. She was just about to take her first spoonful when.'KABOOM'
the entire percussion department opened the piece. Well she shit her pants and her yoghurt went flying in the air and landed upside down in her lap. LOL, I couldn't play for laughing.
Fantastic...! I loved listening to that piece again. Not heard it for many years now, played it dozens of times, even won contests with it. That was a very commendable performance from such a young band. Hinemoa isn't the easiest of pieces to play, it's full of pitfalls and it's got to flow otherwise it doesn't work. That worked and very well done... You can only flourish.
