Solo Horn

Instrument: E Flat Tenor Horn

Position: Solo Horn  

Previous Bands: St Dennis Band; St Austell Band

Profile:
Sophie started playing at the age of 7.  She joined her first brass band in 1988: St Austell, "B" Band. On the disbanding of the "B" Band, Sophie joined the former "A" Band. 

A few years later, she moved to Bugle where she stayed for 5 years.  She was then offered a horn position at St Dennis (where she spent 3 years) before returning to St Austell to play First Horn.  With St Austell, she went to the French Open in 1999 where they came first.

Sophie then returned to Bugle where she took up the Solo Horn chair, and she has been there ever since!

Memorable banding moment:
Too numerous to mention!

Why she likes playing in Bugle Silver Band:
Sophie says:
"Bugle has a good atmosphere, and my fellow horn players are as mad as I am!  I also enjoy the social aspects to brass banding".
