Camborne
 

After a successful term with Camborne, the band has informed 4BR that Jeremy Willcock will not be continuing his position as Resident Conductor by mutual agreement.

Success

Jeremy prepared the band for successes at Bugle and, more recently, Yeovil Entertainment Contest, were they were runner up, as well as good performances at the Scottish Open and more recently at the Area Contest in Torquay.

We take this opportunity to sincerely thank Jeremy for his contribution to the band, especially for his contest preparations and many concerts at variety of venues across CornwallCamborne Band

Thanks

Marcus Dunstan from the band told 4BR: "We take this opportunity to sincerely thank Jeremy for his contribution to the band, especially for his contest preparations and many concerts at variety of venues across Cornwall."

In the meantime, Kevin MacKenzie has been appointed to prepare the band for the Spring Festival at Blackpool, whilst the band's Professional Musical Advisor, Frank Renton, will be returning to Cornwall to rehearse the test piece which is "An Epic Symphony" by Percy Fletcher.
