FRIDAY INSPECTION - Band within the Band!

Early this morning Colonel Windpipe and Captain Lesley took a quick look round the troops and were delighted to discover some bands within the band!

First up is the Brass Band from Allistair Burt - from a large Bear on Trumpet to a tiny Parakeet on Triangle!

and secondly the Britpips from bitsobobs - the washboard playing Badger is a particular favourite of the Colonel!

FRIDAY INSPECTION

Look Lively! The Colonel has just finished his Friday Inspection and is pleased to announce that all the new recruits have passed and are ranked EXCELLENT. Because of the high standard of all the recruits, the Colonel doesn't want to showcase them all at once....so he is going to focus on a few every Friday (chosen by random but highly organised theme!)

This week he would like to give a fanfare (or howl) to two wolf themed recruits: Lieutenant Boris by Captain Jennie Vallis (directly above) and the Wolf Playing Cowbell by Corporal bowhombre (top)

Lord and Lord Cut-Glass and their Kettledrums

This is how the band began! Five characters, some tall some small, but all compelled to march to an unsteady beat!
