My Role at MSB: Principal Cornet
When I joined MSB: 1999
Most Memorable Banding Moment: It hasn't happened yet but it will be when we win the National Finals. Don't mind what section!!! Watch this space...........you might have to keep watching for long time...............
Most Embarrassing Banding Moment: Having to hobble onto the stage and sit on a bright green 'granny' coccyx cushion at the regionals following a skiing accident. There's no hiding when you sit on the end!! (the cornet end not the tail end)
My Personal Profile: I started playing at the age of 11 and joined Tadley Youth Band under the tutelage of Paul Chapman. After attending Trinity College of Music I married hubby Richard (who I met at Tadley) and we moved further South and joined Downton Band in 1986 where we met many good bandy friends and enjoyed a brief period in the Championship section. We started our family in 1990 and after our 2nd child was born in 1992 found it difficult to continue playing and so had a long break until 1999 when I couldn't stay away any longer and joined MSB . Our 3 children are now all 'bandees' as well - it's a great hobby!!!!!!
