John  Hughes				WINNER "Suitably rousing, rhythmical with Copland-esque references" "Interesting spacious and sometimes stark orchestration, good intonation from Surrey Brass"
David  Mitcham		"A Jubilee Fanfare" Sadly we have insufficient  web space to provide this fanfare online.	Available on Request	"Positive, proud, dramatic and original with bags of flare."
Anthony  Wakefield		"Elizabeth, Elizabeth"  A Royal Fanfare No Audio Available		"Exhilarating trumpet writing, has a feel good factor that hits you right between the eyes. A very close contender."
Cedric  Reavley		arranged by John Hughes		"Triumphant style with virtuoso solo trumpet part and playing, and dark sonorous bass trombone lines."
Richard  Norris				"Ambitious trumpet opening, played with sparkling effect, driving sometimes overpowering timpani, detailed articulations and dynamics needed more effort from Surrey Brass. Sorry !!!"
Dominic  Sewell				Regal, proud, and dynamic with a particularly high energy performance
Simon  Nobbs				WINNER U-18 Category Powerful and passionate, interesting key to choose
Bob  Meldrum				Heroic, rhythmic and a complete professional work, Interesting 13/8 and 10/8 section well played and written.

NOTE Scorch is fully compatible with all current versions of Netscape Navigator and Opera on both Windows and Mac. It is also compatible with Internet Explorer on Mac. However, on Windows, Scorch will only work with Internet Explorer on versions up to and including IE 5.5 Service Pack 1. 

In August 2001, Microsoft released an update to IE5.5 SP2, and a new version, Internet Explorer 6.0, disabling support for Netscape-style plug-ins in both versions. 
More details on Microsoft's decision can be found here. 

An Active X version of Scorch, which will restore compatibility with new versions of Internet Explorer, will be released in the near future.

Support for Netscape-style plug-ins can be re-enabled by editing the registry. A .reg file to edit the registry can be found here - save the file to disk and run it, then re-load Internet Explorer. Scorch files should then be visible.
