Great to hear this again. A great performance. I conducted this with Bolton Youth Concert Band at the World Conference of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (WASBE) in Kortrijk in 1985, after which a man came forward and said "Congratulations on a fine performance". I said "Thank you. It's a great piece". He said "I know, I arranged it." It was John P Paynter!
Small suggestion. 2nd movement - to make the "scotch snap" rhythm in each second bar of the melody really stand proud, slightly elongate the 3rd beat of each preceding bar. The suggestion came from JPP himself when he came to Bolton to work with the band. It made such a difference.
