The first test piece I ever played I will never forget it.

I was 14 and playing Repiano cornet for Horden Colliery band and this was our test piece for Blackpool summer gardens. The year was 1975. Takes me right back to the time. Fabulous piece of music.

[@PauldeStexhe]

I love that piece !

[@chris_urwin]

My favourite piece for brass band bar none. Never a squeakier bum than mine aged about 15 on solo trombone with Segga band on contest day with this as the test piece. I'll not forget what a smash in the face the end is either. Still love it though :)
