Dale, I was nosing through Brass Forum UK's threads on brass bands, and this youtube link was posted with some descriptions such as "stunning."
It's a montage with "war" as its subject and Grimethorpe's playing. Some work from Paganini's Variations arranged by Philip Wilby. I'm listening more than watching, and the playing is, well "remarkable" doesn't do justice.
Some of the images are disturbing given the harsh cost of war.
I thought I'd post the link because maybe some haven't heard the band you recommended.
