- Oldham Riffle Brigade (ORB)
Performers Sun Life Band of Bristol, England (fomerly Stanshawe)
Recorded: circa 1992
Conducted by: Roy Newsome
Composer: Charles Anderson
Background: A year before this was recorded a handful of SLB members guested with a band at the Whit Friday March Contests. This band performed ORB and the crowds listening loved it. Therefore the knowledge of this great march was taken back to the SLB bandroom in Eastville and it became a firm favourite.
Stanshawe, Stanshawe (Bristol), Sun Life Stanshawe, and Sun Life Band are the same band but at different times of their history.
The band was formed in 1968 and disbanded in 1997.
So, "The light that burns the brightness burns the shortest."

Another good march: • March: Mephistopheles ...
Won the overall Saddleworth prize in the 93 with Boarshurst Silver Band. Also, my 2 uncles John & Albert Bennett played in the band in the 1930's,
The young man seated front row second from right next to the drum is my Great Grandfather Robert Cooper. He eventually became a band leader and solo trumpeter.

This has been my favorite march ever since hearing it on my first ever Whit Friday in 1984. Had the pleasure of playing it when depping with Glossop Old Band about 5 yrs later and we managed 10 contests on the night - brilliant!!!
This year (2022) I was depping as principal cornet with Glossop Old Band at The Whit Friday Marches and play this stunning march.
@@BessonSovereign1 Something in common then!!! Managed to hear two performances by other bands this year - if I don't, it's never quite the same!
what a lovely trumpeter and so nice to hear t
he band
Like to mention its a cornet
Two remarkable aspects: the march is in a minor key and the band repeats the first two strains da capo after the trio.
This is a great band. Love all the recordings
Thanks. I have a FB page- Lenoir High School Band, and I post a march of the day, and have posted over 500 marches so far. I am always on the lookout for new material. I like to do a weekly theme and have already done one week of British Band marches and am gearing up for another week’s worth soon.
Wow the bass solo is powerful!! A fantastic recording!

This is very well played. How old is this recording?
I recall it was about 1992 ish
blottit Thank you very much for your answer, I didn't see before now! I thought maybe that it was an elder recording, but this was two years after they won the British Open brass band championship, so they must have been at their best I think! 😊
