James last

[@brianadamson2335]

Nothing like James Last. A different sound altogether. This fine Festival march was written by the late Major Les Condon A fine Christian gentleman and Salvationist composer. He played EEb bass in the ISB and was a brilliant player. He wrote many great pieces for brass band. His devotional pieces brought great blessings to many people around the world.

Always a very inspiring ending

A tad slow

[@avpmobi]

I would say perfect speed, having played it with Gordon at Tylney Hall music school under the baton of the composer.

[@avpmobi]

It's written 112 this is 109. Within range of error. There is a tendency to play SA marches far too fast.

The tempo was perfect for Les Condons ' Celebration' the venue was at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, i believe the bandmaster was being respectful as I know Les would have been.
