Goodbyes

As with all youth organisations, our players have an unfortunate habit of not staying "youths" for ever! Life moves on and they move to university or jobs, or simply get to the point where they become too old to be able to take part in contests where there is a strict upper age limit. Sadly, we have four players in the "leaving" category this year, who will all be leaving the band at the end of the summer holidays. The band will of course be delighted to welcome them back whenever they can help out, and they will undoubtedly appear in our "gallery" pictures from time to time.

The band would like to take this opportunity of thanking these players for their support, commitment, and talent, and would like to wish them all well in their future endeavours, both professionally, and musically.

Our "leavers" this year (2008) are:-

Mat Hampton Principal Cornet	Matt Grimsey  Solo Cornet	Eve Harrison 2nd Cornet	Luke Chester Eb Bass
	Greg Mason Solo Horn	Ali Dalton Percussion
