Bari’s shouldn’t have to play quietly - it’s up to the others to keep up.
If they keep complaining, get a PPT mouthpiece and really give them something to compete with!

Despite not having @tenorviol with us and me suffering miserably with a cold we had a fantastic session today. We are playing much better together.

We played Waltz No 2 Jazz Suite, 3 times through and it came together
Mercy Mercy Mercy and did brilliant with the dynamics, they normally get completed ignored 🙂
Dad's Army Theme - quite a new one for us
Groovy Kind of Love - fell apart a little in the middle but we worked on it.
Our biggest effort went in to Plink Plank Plunk, a real test of counting and embouchure strength
A brand new one - James Bond Theme to test our sight reading
And finished with @nickh favourite - Bare Necessities!!

Thanks to @chadders for patiently leading us and the rest of the gang, it was great fun. I'm so glad I got out of bed for it

Currently on West Coast mainline train from London, where I appear to have an American train manager (conductor in old speak)... I spent 6 hours observing a trustees meeting of a charity I’m reviewing wearing my business analyst’s hat...
