Hello

happy easter everyone, I've just recently registered to this forum and was asked to introduce myself.

I mainly write music, play it as well although I'm playing live less and less nowadays. I write for anything.

To be perfectly honest I thought bands like the royal marines or other marchin bands would be up for looking at new music so thats why I registered.

Thats about it really.
RAB

Thanks for your intro Composer. Hope you get lots of good contacts and some fun .....
Errol

hi composer... us horn players are always up for new dots to play!! That's frenchs not Eb's... eek did I just swear, apologies HB, TS, GM et al!
Baaaaaaaaaaass

New music?
Language like that will NOT be tolerated in this forum, young man!
Composer

cheers guys, I was wondering if there is one 'set' line up which you used or its different for every concert. It doesn't give a specific line up (i.e. wind + brass) on site. Would be great to write something for French Horn solo vs band

Welcome Composer !

Good idea that - and while your at it - how about a piece for a quartet of Horns ??
General Melchett

I like your choice of 'vs' as opposed to 'with'

GC may be right again....!
