Brass band snippet

Tuesday evenings are brass band practise. 2 hours, sometimes with a break for tea and cakes, if it's been someone's birthday. Our conductor, Graham, often gives what he calls "notices" between songs - upcoming dates, information, etc. Tonight, he told us that we needed a new band photo. Everyone groaned. Last time we did two photos, one in our full suit and bow tie uniform and one in the more casual polo shirts. It was a bit chaotic, everyone trying to change in the two small bathrooms in the practise hall.  "No - no," Graham said, "Just polo shirts this year!" A shocked pause, broken by Jo - "gosh I'm glad I'm at the back!" and the whole room dissolved into laughter.
