when they televise the Remembrance Day service on the BBC most of the army musicians are wearing gloves (not that you get oboes in army marching bands). I used to wear fingerless gloves in winter at CH for lunch parade as it would be freezing. I tried wearing gloves with the band I now play in at th...

That's so sad. Ann really was such an important part of the band 'family' that existed when David was bandmaster. Always made us welcome at their home. An intrinsic part of my band memories. Not to mention ensuring the drummers white golves were always immaculate! My deep condolences to Lizzy and We...

Sorry Hendik, I can't agree with anything you wrote above. You must have had an easy time at CH ! I can still hear the whistle of the cane before it made contact with my breeches !
