Scottish Open - Macbeth

Adjudicator:Roger Webster

Solid start (if not a little loud)

A+2 Percussion triplets not even.

Neat playing Cornets.

Some lapses in rhythm to H.

Basses and Trombones very good J.

N - Good playing Solo Cornet - don't let the vib detract from the pitch of the notes.

P+5 - Neat entry - Bravo!

Q - The playing is good Flugel - but style more Jazz than Lament. Nice Trombone.

V - Well done.

W+3 - Intonation. W+11 etc, Crotchets too short!

Y - Good control and all quite neat.

AA to end - Well handled.

Many thanks,

Roger Webster

Opening! A touch on the loud side but you create a good atmosphere.

B - Not steady.

C - Some nice Solo playing here (Repiano and Horns)

General Macbeth - Good Bass Trombone sound. Nicely played Euphonium and Trombone.

M - Good

N - Well played Solo Cornet

Lament - Flugel - Longer notes and more phrasing needed.

Basses - 2 before S - too short. Full length needed.

V - Good dynamics and positive entries.

Well done Horns at W.

X - Tidy playing.

Y - Good. And good Finale.

Many thanks,

Peter Meechan
