Jane and Karen joined a squad of bandsmen from the NW/NE of England for a TV film shoot on Ilkley Moor. The 38 strong band, conducted by David Thornton, MD of Brighouse and Rastrick, played their hearts out in the sunshine on the top of the moor, for a film sequence which will feature in a four-part TV series celebrating brass bands to be screened next year.
What a fantastic day! Great camaraderie with both the bandsmen and the film crew, and wall to wall sunshine in a superb location. And not just an unusual setting, a new experience to play in a band with no less than nine basses. Karen got along famously with the three other euphoniums, and Jane held pride of place as “principal” baritone in a section of one.
