@arbuckle123 lol yes im a girl! sorry it took so long to reply been busy with horses for the Trooping. Learning the clarinet was a challenge and its taken me a long time to really enjoy playing it but i do now. What have you written for military band? its probably something we play all the time lol!!
@arbuckle123 Oh, boy, I'm afraid I blew it! I called you "sir" and now I see your name is Holly, therefore you're probably a girl. If not, then I blew it again now. So sorry.
@arbuckle123 Fortunately both marches were meant for stage background music and nobody paid too much attention. Congrats again, and, please, keep up your great work.
@kittenkh Sir, I tip my hat to you. From cello to clarinet (in Bb, I presume) must be quite a change. On a slightly different note, talking about adapting, I remember the problems I had the first time I wrote for military band (I've done it only twice), not only with the transposing stuff –that's easy- but with the distribution of the voices. I didn't find a real textbook for military band instrumentation back then and I had to improvise. And I think I got away with it.
@kittenkh Well I guess I'll have to spend a week in Windsor then. Ive never been there and I would love to visit it and listen to great music too. By the way, what is your instrument, if you dont mind me asking?
@silvermaestro It's a great march (although often misspelt by others!) and should be played more often - plenty of range.
