Practice list for week of 20th March 2011

Thanks for attending last nights practice. We will continue to play Teribus and Corrichoillie's march and was pleased to hear that this set is "playing well".

The marching is coming on, as too are the starts with a good solid "e" so well done to one and all. The idea of marching in a circle was novel, and worked well as we managed to stay in step. We will do that again, but a bigger circle as it may avoid a dizzy ending! Like any band the overall progress is determined by the few, so clearly a lot of practice has been done so please keep rehearsing and memorising your tunes!

Memorise "Green Hills" and "When the Battle is O'er"- This is a Jersey Pipe Band set so with these tucked away in your memories you may well be asked to join the band on a public outing, which would be great.

We ran through "The Gael" (which is a simple enough tune) and Cork Hill. For a first run-through they were picked up well and hopefully help push us all forward a bit and help break the routine of normal practice.

Thanks again academy, and look forward to seeing you all next week- if not before.
