Achieve

Commenting on his appointment David added: “I look forward to working with all the band's members and believe that we can achieve a great deal as well as enjoying ourselves in the process! My first engagement with the band is on the 26th May in Guildford's Castle Grounds' Bandstand.”

This is not the first time that David will have conducted a brass band there having ‘wagged the stick’ with Friary Guildford and Cobham bands on quite a few occasions there in the past.
