Instrument: Besson Sovereign Euphonium

Position: Second Euphonium and Contest Secretary

Profile:
Ann started playing at the age of 45, after being involved with brass bands with her two children.  Her son, Iain now composes and arranges music and also conducts a band, while her daughter Susan plays the Tenor Horn.   She played with Newquay Band for about 18 months and then joined Bugle.  Ann was Secretary of St Austell Band for 7 ½ years, before becoming Contest Secretary at Bugle.  

Memorable banding moment:
Getting a pencil stuck in her bell end!
While doing marching practice, the band started playing "Army Of The Nile", while Ann played "Black Dyke"!

Why she likes playing in Bugle Silver Band:
Ann says:
"I enjoy working as part of a team, especially in the run up to a contest.  I have made many friends and I enjoy the social life that goes with it.
Bugle is a very friendly, laid-back band."
