I used to be involved with the brass band movement in Australia (Melbourne) playing in the Kew Band which got up to a ranking of 60ish t one stage (now 85).

The current top 10 bands are just incredible – there are stories of people making a tiny mistake in a major competition and being sacked as the band walks off the stage. As a side note 8 of the top 10 are from the northern areas.

My favourite has always been Black Dyke Mills Band.
