Thanks

The band also took the opportunity to thank Ben Coulson and Georgina Moulsdale who at the tender age of 14 and 12 respectively have done a fantastic job over the past few months sharing the principal cornet seat whilst the band have been looking for a new principal cornet.

Looking forward

The band hope they will carry on learning from the experience that Debbie brings and will be fantastic players as they develop.

The band are delighted to note a full line up of players barring a soprano cornet following a difficult few years, and are looking forward to a successful future with Debbie on the end chair.
