Introducing our yet tbc regular feature, BBR Reviews! Been sent this peach from a loyal follower, and wow what a find. Artistry, tone, musical expression are all things these lot have no concept of at all. More painful than a prostate exam from Edward Scissorhands #BackInTheCase

Took this a couple of years ago. Still ridiculous.

@4barsrest Can we request a mouthpiece brush review as a follow up?😉😂

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

It’s the one we’ve all been crying out for, it’s the mute cork review!! I’ve always said the ones I’ve been using have been holding me back. Quality consumer info @4barsrest #TheMuteCorkReview #GoodCorksGoodSound

To finish us off @FiltonBrass who’s performance has mixed things up like booze in an alcoholic’s breakfast bowl. Top drawer stuff, let’s see if the judges give a shit about this one #DirtyPint #StartTheDayOffRight #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

@Glyneuph leading @LydbrookBand through their performance now, which is one I’m sure everyone has been waiting for... A rapid finish that was out the blocks quicker than Red Rum after 16 cans of Red Bull #doubleRed #NoRush #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

@StDennisBand now with a lovey little number, all round top playing. Nothing more to say other than a noticeable lack of junior players? Must be exams on something #DBScheck #schoolsout #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

Next @woodfalls, this was really very good. A performance taking on more risks than going to a Chinese cough clinic. Soloists were all superb, big sounds all round, only dwarfed by the size of the ego on the solo euphonium player #BackInYourBox #FairlySizeableSounds #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

@TheFlowersBand, some very commendable brass playing. A heavyweight performance, and that’s not just about the size of the bass players. Performance slightly dampened by the wet floor signs around the solo euph, sweating like a dyslexic on countdown #XXXL #dripping #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

@aldbourneband and @SWCommsband are bands 2 & 3. Both admirable attempts at the piece, but never really did the job properly sadly. A bit like a handjob from Captain Hook #reallytried #carefullydoesit #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

We’re off! @CTBMS open with @IanPorthouse at the wheel. Contest organisers might be looking into the unfair advantage of half the band having 27 fingers, making those fast sections move faster than a toddler running from Cliff Richard’s house #inbred #acceptableinthe80s #regs2020

Luckily, ⁦@amershamband⁩ Community Band were able to perform 4th Section test piece this week even though L&SC regional contest was cancelled this coming weekend. Thank you ⁦@CBondComposer⁩ for a great piece that has been enjoyed by both our young and older members!

@tomp_tuba @tomp_tuba better luck next time #LovingYourCrystalBalls #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

Guess we better do some predictions then, perhaps @tomp_tuba could give us some help with this one please? #expertise #CallingInReinforcements #regs2020

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

You’ve heard it from the horses mouth people #PreachIt #AndHereEndethTheLesson #regs2020

[Rob Tompkins @tomp_tuba]

@BombersBarsRest I haven’t heard a single note but I’m going for...
@blackdyke
@briggusbb
@CMFCB

And if I’m right then you owe me a beer.

[Bomber’s Bars Rest @BombersBarsRest]

So today’s festival of the same piece played over and over again is finished (finally) by @CMFCB, and if we’re being honest, we’ve lost all interest as to whether this was any good or not. WE DON’T CARE, STOP PLAYING IT! #JustATadRepetitive #brokenrecord #regs2020
