National Programme

To Bottom

At first we thought that we had 3 practises each evening from 8pm in the Session Bar (as per the NFF website programme). We believe we have succesfully negotiated both a change of venue and time to bring them back into the mainstream. Unless otherwise notified the practises will be held in the Session Bar (Far End) starting at 3pm, not ideal but better. It also looked like we would have only one actual performance but again we believe we have successfully negotiated a 10min spot in the "Closing Concert"! Anyone wondering if they are staying to the end, please do so as we will need you - I'm sure we'll be stuck down the small end of the stage but 10m is better than nothing and the Budawang is a great buzz on the final night.

A recent update includes 2nd parts for the Contras which are included as a second page to the file.

The table below shows the set names and included tunes that are on the programme. Midi files containing the tunes as they are likely to be played are linked to the graphic in the Midi column. This is primarily to help provide some idea of the speed and structure of each set but actual dynamics are limitied to the structure of Midi and some variation will occur. PDF files containing the sheet music of the set are available in the PDF column and can be printed at any time through Adobe Reader.
