The Bandstand, Camberwick Green

PaulRhB said:
Now I've just traced the rest of the members of the Firemans band for Camberwick so I'm going to build a bandstand for them, as the commercial one is a bit pricy!
Now I remember one of you is an accomplished brass band player, but can't remember who off the top of my head!, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some music appropriate, for this small band, that I could play at a show without upsetting anyones copyright. I'm quite happy to pay for a cd to cover a public performance and have a note on the display board crediting the music.

Cheers Paul

I would assume anything you can download from the net for free is not copyright - does anyone disagree?
If so, a couple of my favourite marches are downloadable here:

Soldiers of the Queen:

Old Comrades:

Or you couldn't go wrong with anything from Sousa. Jus do a google for sousa free download

Yes there is a fair amount available but quite a bit is ripped off and though the music is old the performance isn't. I've got access to lots of big brass band recordings but not any small ones hence I asked if Gareth had anything that would be a smaller group like the model and legal ;)
Having played Trombone it would have been too grating for me to hear a multi piece cornet section being represented by one, it sounds different, but if it's a smaller two- three section it would fit better that's all :)
