ORKESTRA DEL SOL'S COMPETITIVE STREAKS

Ladies and Gentlemen,

****Please read this in a silly accent****

EXTREME RIVALRY and ONE-UP-MANSHIP in Orkestra del Sol has pushed recent shows TO THE LIMIT! In Norwich, following a second successive defeat in the AGILITY category, MARCO attempted the worlds first 'STAGE DIVE whilst WEARING A SOUSAPHONE'. Thankfully, several NOR-FOLKS cushioned his fall, save for a few dents to his bell. VEROVANYA suffered RUPTURED BELLOWS whilst trying far too hard to MEASURE-UP to BAD TIM BONES in Frome's maximum INSTRUMENT LENGTH competition. Moving at Top Speed, BERNARDO'S WHIRLING STICKS briefly became a FLIGHT RISK in the London area. Friends, attending one of our shows is likely to be RIDICULOUSLY GOOD FUN, but there are HAZARDS! However we do urge you to TAKE THE RISK.

Your friends, The Orkestra.
