Below you should find a Flash video player with the introduction, parts and breaks for the Stockton finale piece for you to practice at your leisure. All of the groups will combine at the end of the parade to play this and with over 200 drummers, it promises to be something special.
I will talk to each of the group leaders about the order they will do their solo spot as part of the finale and how that will work
We are also going to have a gathering of as many people from as many groups as possible on the evening of Thursday 2nd August at Our Lady & St Bedes School. We will play the piece, iron out any problems and get that carnival vibe going! I will know the exact time soon and will let you all know. I hope to see as many of you as possible there.
If anybody is having problems with the Flash player (slow computer, restrictions at work) I have also put links to individual Windows Media Videos that you can view/or download.
If you have any problems or questions email me at chris@worldbeatersmusic.com or call 07932 620 164 during office hours
