“The first game of Ulthuan's premier brass band turned Blood Bowl team didn't strike a high note! With two deaths and multible bruised ego's the team walked off the pitch hanging their heads knowing they needed more practice. After a blitzing start Andy Keys found himself out in front with the endzone in sight, unfortunately he was too eager and didn't see the orc coming up behind him. The resulting tackle wasn't pretty, after they pulled the orc off poor Andy he was more a puddle than an elf. Concerning Andy the bands Euphonium player, Robert Young, had this to say "He was a fine lad was Andy, his tone will be missed."
Although even in death Andy was still usefull to the team. With a black orc falling over due to Andy's blood two of Ulthuan's linemen were free to get passed.

Andy was not the only casulty however, Ulthuan Silver's principle Eb bass player Neil Rogers took a turn for the infermary after being caught too close to the sideline and being pushed into a waiting crowd of die hard Thug Life fans. The resulting howls of pain shook every elf in the stadium too the core.

It was not all doom and gloom however. Jim Cuttings, Ulthuan's soprano cornet player, was in fine form making a number of passes and earning the mvp of the match. In the after match conferance Jim commented with "Yes today went quite well for me, I definatly feel myself improving and I'm sure after a bit more practice and a few more games the team will be right with me."

With the expense of going from brass band to blood bowl team the bands treasury is now quite low. The teams Coach had this to say "Unfortunatly we will not be able to fill our open positions with permanent players, So we will be hiring depts for the forseeable future. Thank you." ”
