Something terrible happened at the recent Marston Dam Entertainment Contest this last coming Sunday!
A brass band has been reported for playing an old programme.
Apparently, the band involved, who we are only too happy to announce as the Retford Red Wine Band, delivered an out-of-date programme.
The two people involved, Maudly Mason (musical director) and Mason Maudly (flugel horn), have announced an unresreved apology even before we announce what they are apologising for.
One member of the audience, who we had whipped up into a frenzy, said "Their programme was so old fashioned, so out of date. I heard a march, overture then a cornet solo. Those days are gone".
Another disgruntled visitor said, "They were up on stage openly flaunting old brass band music. It was shocking! To follow a march with an overture and then, clearly without thinking, a cornet solo, leaves a bad taste in the mouth!"
