We as a family are very disappointed that he will not have the chance to defend his title on Trumpet again this year owing to the change of day for the section. Flight and accomodation bookings cannot be changed without a significant penalty, plus extra time off work for him and his accompanist. (We believe he would have created history if he won it for the fourth consecutive time).
He will be competing in the Flugel Section which is being held as originally scheduled.
Bev.
I'm sorry to hear that Bev, It would have been fantastic to hear such a talented and experienced player like Mark!!
Hey Robert, your right its usually the cornet section, I remember 5 or 6 years ago there was like 35 competitors, I really felt sorry for the adjudicator...lol
Unfortunately the Open cornet testpiece is a tad too hard for me this year, plus I've just got a new cornet to get used to and i'm getting some teeth out soon so I may not be in the best shape come nationals, only time will tell I guess.
Thanks Ben for the luck, i'll need it!!
