Excellent! I shall copy it to a particular female subordinate at work who proclaims it as an irrefutable scientific fact that 'men cannot multi-task'

Yes it is. Obviously someone unfamiliar with brass bands. How about we call a wind quintet a wind band, or a string quartet a string orchestra?Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post

Fwiw, I am familiar with brass bands. Ironically (in retrospect), I paused fleetingly before submitting the post and wondered whether to change the word band to ensemble, but was in a hurry and decided not to bother as it wasn't important! I just thought some people might be amused by the clip....Oh well, lesson learned

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Always good to see a host in full command of his smileys - might be worth finding an <oil on troubled waters> emoticon?Originally posted by Caliban View PostI didn't think it was misleading at all, it's an amusing clip...!

Anyway, must now down tools and head for the train station: off to this evening's SCO prom, about which there has been precisely no advance comment in the Proms Concerts sub-forum! I expect the brass section to remain seated throughout and to stick to one instrument/both hands...Comment

I feel much the same when people refer to "wind and brass". Do they think brass instruments are played with sticks or bows?Originally posted by Pabmusic View PostYes it is.
