2008 Scottish Regional Championship
Retrospective: Third Section
The space race came to Glenrothes on the weekend, and the Scots certainly had two bands who went into orbit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Lovatt- Cooper’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ provided the eleven bands on the Saturday in the Third Section with a fine test piece to get their teeth into.
It also proved to be an ideal piece for the bands to show of their qualities too – full of colour, interesting textures, lyrical tunes and exciting effects. As a result all eleven played as well as they could have expected, and whilst the overall standard did vary, adjudicates Steve Sykes and Steve Pritchard-Jones had plenty of performances to sit back and admire.
No problems
'No problems of just about any variety for Dalkeith and Monktonhall though and a performance that fully deserved to take home with them the Scottish Championship trophy as well as the qualification to Harrogate.
James Chamberlain delivered a very persuasive reading of the score, whilst his players responded in kind with great dynamic features, balanced ensemble, solid solos and a sense of character to their playing.
This really was space age stuff – modern and exciting, full of energy and clean lines. It did get a touch hard in places and there seemed little need for the back row to stand when they were doing OK anyway, but it just added that extra sheen to a performance of merit, and which certainly found favour in the box. It also meant a double for the MD as he also won with Whitburn on the Sunday – a great weekend then for Jim.'
Always nice
