Personnel



The band currently comprises around 30 players from all walks of life, ages and musical backgrounds. We have a very healthy mix of new players and also some that have given long service to the band. One of our trombone players, Norman Hill, has recently celebrated 50 years as a member of the band. Several of our players are still studying for GCSE's and A levels.
