Instrument: Yamaha Cornet

Position: Third Cornet

Previous Bands: Briefly played in the City Of Canterbury Band whilst living in Kent in the 1990s.

Profile:
Sally was always destined to play in the band; Her Father started playing at the age of eleven and still plays today.  She followed in his footsteps at the age of thirteen, having been taught by our Principal Cornet player, David Jane, and having attended just about every band engagement from the day she was born!
She had a gap of about ten years when she moved away in the 1990s, but started playing again when she returned to the area in 1999.

Memorable banding moments:
The bands marching through Bugle in the evening of the Band Contest, especially admiring the bands who have won no trophies but still march proudly.
She was lucky enough to travel on the Fodens Band coach around the villages on Whit Friday for the march contest a few years back - that was a great day out!

Why she likes playing in Bugle Silver Band:
Sally says:
“We do a lot of carnival and concert engagements throughout the year, and we're not afraid to play popular music that the general public can enjoy, unlike so many bands who only play music that will impress their fellow bandsmen.  We may not be championship standard, but we have brought enjoyment to a great many people over the years, which is what making music is all about”.
