There were quite a few bandsmen from local corps who participated in the group over the years that it existed &#8211; apart from myself the other members of the group in this recording are Roland Wright, Garry Lawrence, Roger Born and Brian Eastment.<\/p>\n<p>The concert was at Christchurch Priory with the Priory Choir. The first half of the concert comprised the Vivaldi Gloria (an excerpt of which I shared some months ago). This piece opened the second half during which ourselves and the choir presented a very varied programme.<\/p>\n<p>I should apologise for the amount of tape wow and flutter on this recording &#8211; it is especially noticeable in the middle movement. Hope it is not too intrusive for you!<\/p>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.systemsthink.co.uk\/jvideos\/pilgrim way.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eric Ball : The Pilgrim Way<\/a><\/h5>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.systemsthink.co.uk\/jvideos\/pilgrim way.mp4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Comments<\/em> :<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Sampson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well done!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fraser Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A classic!
