Adjudicators: Barry Thompson and David Hirst

Draw: 12 Position: 11 Points: 173

Barry Thompson

Prelude: Competent start - chords not quite balance bar 2 - fine sop and horn - unison not in tune before B intonation problems in ensemble - basses not quite in tune from C fine horn.  Jubilate: Not quite convincing to open - fine cornet at E - G is rather unsure - Sop rather flat before I cantabile at J flows very well but there are intonation problems in inner band - cornet does fine at O but accomps are loose - and accomps at Q also not together - a little unsure in evenness after V, X is fine, Z insecure - some uncertain playing in closing bars.
