Will do, and yes please!

OK

Hehehe, great captions, Nicki!!

Some of them are a bit cheeky.

I've put together your photos and my pictures from the "aftermath" but I haven't put them online hehe

yes I decided those weren't for public dissemination... unless I need blackmail material!!

Well, there are about 5 of me which are HIDEOUS! I think they'd break people's computer monitors

(been dying to use that!)

Don't worry, I shan't be posting 'em publicly!

Sent you a couple of extras btw

I'm sure you'll blackmail me with them some day!

They're brilliant - and I love the captions!

W

Glad you like them

Thanx Nicki they're great!!

*goes to download!*

You're welcome

Heehee

The pictures look class Nicki

Cheers Dad took most of them!

Would it be worth creating a Flickr account where you can apparently have group pools, so people can upload all their photos into one folder/or have one Photobucket account?
(this was Andy's idea), or maybe even a general forum concert photo accounty thing.

Brilliant pics, Nicki!

Well, we got home today. No, it didn't take quite that long to get out of Leicester - as some of you know, we stayed on and enjoyed the Leicester Experience for another day. We enjoyed seeing the surrounding area (once we had managed to get out of Leicester) and the Elgar concert at the de Montfort Hall on Wednesday evening (another scenic tour, this time of the central area, plus learning how to operate the parking machines in this part of the world), where we met up with Nicki and her dad again.

We enjoyed the concert day - it was lovely to see old friends and meet new ones and the organisation of the concert and the meal ran smoothly thanks to Nicki and Katyjay. The hall was superb. The brownies were very tasty, Nicki. Thank you to all who made the generous comments in my feedback envelope.

Thanks to those who have posted photos - a very good selection.

I'm off to Benslow tomorrow for a Classical Period Piano course, so have repacked my bag today! Haven't done much piano practice over the last few days ...

The concert was fantastic One of my favourites I think!

How are the parking machines strange? Is it the whole putting in numberplate thingy?

Glad you enjoyed your day and the brownies. I thought your cello playing had improved so much

Great pictures Nicki.

I see you've managed to sum up my conducting style in just two captions!

They made me giggle they did But yes, good for future reference

Yes, it was the numberplate thingy .... we had not met this before. We went to Oakham earlier in the day and I thought the machines were out of order because every time I put any type of coin in it fell through. I was just about to write a notice for the car windscreen when someone came up and got a ticket and told us you had to key in your car registration (numbers only in Oakham), so at least I wasn't caught completely off my guard when the Leicester one wanted full registration number. We don't have anything like this round our way!

Oakham is a nice place. As were the other Rutland places you went to. *has memories of cycling round Rutland Water - 23 miles*
They didn't used to have lots of those but they do now...

The pictures are great Nicki - thanks ever so much, and to your dad

I've downloaded my pics from my camera but they're too big to upload to photobucket - back to the drawing board

Hope you have a good weekend at Benslow, Suepea, look forward to hearing about it

Have you got Google Picasa? It's really easy to upload pictures using it

I can't use Picasa because it only works with Windows and I'm mac. I've loaded similar sized images on to photobucket in the past and it's worked OK, but it's not working this time

Oh Errrrrrrrrrr what about boomspeed.com

Or maybe you can upload them to Andy's flickr group?

Oh, didn't I tell you conducting is part of 'The Kodály Experience'???!

Yes.........it sure is.........especially at the Kodaly Institute here in Hungary!

Thanks, I'll have a look

*makes note to ask Cyrilla about 'conducting a la Kodaly'*!......

There are too many photo's with me in it, half of which I didn't notice being taken!!!!


*hides in corner and cries because they were ALL HORRIBLE!*

They weren't!

I have been duly versed in 'conducting a la Kodaly' now....

Does this mean we forummembers will get practised on come future concerts??!

Or at Mkt H

Possibly Sarah. Quite possibly.





Wasn't told about 'conducting a la Kodaly with clari in hand', so you're safe!

Is that where the conductor's baton is tipped with the eye of a cod?

Phew!

YAP - LOL *imagines pointy stick with a blinking eye*

...and toe of newt

Argh!

Drat it missed out Andante's quote... but - Argh! again!

This thread is becoming surreal...

Well, we didn't do MUCH conducting today! 'Twas fun tho...

That's the main thing!
