 |
|
In the 1980's I remember going to the School of Music in Deal with our Band on a day trip. Not sure of the year, but probably around 1983/1984!
We learned drill, and had instruction on our various instruments. I seem to remember learning a drum solo called Tarabewky. I'm not sure how that should be spelled, does anyone know?

Tarabewky, was composed early in 1981 by the then Sgt Bugler Errol Flynn (with a little help of the Turtle Club, if you can get him to admit it) when he was i/c of the Cdo Forces Corps of Drums. It was used for the Massed Bands display at the Royal Tournament, that year.
If you want to know any more, ask Errol. (WALOS)

Thanks for that.
Incidentally we have recently used another RM drum solo, Loch Leven, in our competition routines for TYMBA contests (Traditional Youth Marching Band Association). I think its a really nice solo.
I think we won best drum section at the 2007 TYMBA South East of England Contest at Hornchurch, Essex, because of our use of the solo! Several of the RM judges commented positively on it!

The Drum static "Walos", written about the same time as Tarabewky by Errol, again with Turtle club assistance. Apart from the Turtle Club, does anyone know what WALOS means. No help turtles please!.
And for those who don't know or haven't figured it out. Tarabewky was written as a tribute to the Corps Drum Major, Dave Buchanan.

Sorry General, a bit more sentimental than that. Any more want to try?

Got a new one for you. Why were/are, the Cdo forces Buglers called "Turtles"?
Wolfie would know this, as he and Reg Sheen were guests of the Turtle Cub in Warwick Hall, 1984 RT.
