Jobs for the Boys

I can't say my job is one of the happiest in the world, and I often find it easier to think of other things whilst carrying out some duties. I was thinking today why the Band is so successful. I am convinced it is down to team work, as so many people do a job within the Band, for the Band. In fact it is like a recipe from a well known shopping chain.
Take 2 tablespoons of Eric the Stand Man and Alto sax who carries all the Band stands to gigs (when he remembers lol) add a sprinkle of Duncan the Tailor who plays Trombone and carries the 'dep' uniforms. Add a liberal amount of Tim the Pad who looks after the library and also plays the bone. Mix in Dave the Prog, who sorts out our playing lists and is lead Alto and Clarinet. Stir in a mixture of Dave the keys our P.A Expert who sorts out all the sound system and Colin our vocalist, who loves the ladies, we keep telling him to use the Gents ,but he wont listen! Prepare a side dish of Pete the professor who runs our cracking website and has the biggest instrument in the Band, and also plays the Bari Sax! Simmer for 5 minutes Derek the Cheque book who looks after any donations we get to the Band fund, and also plays Bass and works as a bouncer in Mothercare in his spare time. And finally serve with a side dish of Roy 'The Wallet' who looks after Trumpet Stands and speakers,. Plus many others who contribute to the Bands success. This is not just a Big Band, this is the Ockbrook Big Band.
