Maybe we can have a slightly more ambitious competition for May and start a couple of weeks early. --say a piano concerto movement.

I think that a concerto competition would be just as hard as the symphonic competition and should not be in the monthly competition category.

Again, he was saying that because he's working on one :P

Er, that was actually ME posting there, I was on my brother's computer :P....

I've been asking since I've joined to have a concert band competition.

:)

Just a suggestion.

How about a keyboard sonata competition ;) Maybe we can create a schedule of competitions for every month of the year and never have to poll or discuss for days on end what to have next. Also, since I missed this competition, I can participate in the next keyboard sonata competition (If we decide to have this schedule made up, then in March).. we may even want to have six competitions a year and then repeat the same for the second half?

What are your thoughts?

Was there not already a sonata-type competition?

They can't all be the same.

That's dumb.

How about a March competition?! ;)

I didn't say they would all be the same...................

Mike dealt with that issue a few pages back.

We should make a schedule for what type of competition we have for each month. That's all I said.

I disagree. What would be the advantages?

No arguments and people know which months they would like to play, (i.e. plan for those months, etc.).

brass quintet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

String trio. Let's vote.

OOooo. Brass quintet's a good idea.

string trio is cool!

Jazz Band

I don't think so.

It appears that a lot of people here have an irrational fear of brass and saxophones.

Not me though, I'd gladly try out a Jazz Band.

Brass quintet... challenge. Yes.

I see a lot of string and piano writing here...let's try a brass quintet! (2 trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba)! I might even be able to get a piece or two played!

You mean your piece(s)..? Or the winner(s) of the competition? :D

The winner, I assume. :)

Brass quintet sounds good. Out of the ordinary, at least in comparison to the rest of the competitions we've run, and fairly small scale, so doable inside a month. Any further affirmations/objections?

I think go for it.

I may even write something for it (probably not, but maybe).

I might actually try this, I'm useless with Brass but that's something I intent to change.

I'll have a go at this, if I get the time. I'd love a jazz contest for another month. I know robin would pwn all comers, but it would be fun.

I'm against it. But oh well. brass quintet?
