I'm back in the Boys Brigade....at 40!!!!

Took my lad to enroll in the BB last night.
Chatting to the guy in charge and remembering my time in the BB loads of years ago i mentioned that I was once a silver bugle contender.
Two minutes later a bugle was shoved in my hand and a request of 'Give us a rendition of Reveille!!!'
After a bit of cat screaming I got a vaguely recognisable version out of the thing. Bit more practice and I was remembering all the tunes, I was quite chuffed seeing as it's 27 years since I picked one up and my only subsequent practice was my party piece of getting a tune out of anything with a hole (Vixpy1 NO ) , if you've never heard the National Anthem played on the jug of a Smoothie maker you need an invite to one of my parties!!!.
So now they've asked me to be one of the adult buglers and gave me a bugle to take home and practice!!!

Excuse me while I'm regressing back into childhood....where's my tin of Brasso???

I think you've only come on her ( I meant here but it's a funny typo so I'll leave it) to blow your own trumpet.

You'll probably start to fancy an Elvis CD any day now.

Its a worrying message to give on the first day of BB.

"Grab my horn and give it a big blow"

What is the world coming to!
