Excellent point Frank. Your experience and insight are an asset to the group. Everything on the score sheets are things we KNOW we need to work on. There was nothing that more confidence in the music won't solve.

Yes, we definitely need some new reeds @ this point. It was good to hear some of the better bands in Grade IV as well. We now know what we're up against, and what we need to strive for, in terms of sound.

>outing and we beat the "DUBBIES", from here we all

Yes, it was good to beat one of the grade IV bands from our area. It would have been even better to beat Inis Fada as well. Next time...
