                       Guides, playing her Guitar and Cornet take up alot of Jades time but she is still going to find time to take her
                       grade 3 Cornet In December. Jade has a real talent for the Cornet and will be a valuable member for the band in
                       the years to come.

                         Josh is in year 6 at Okehampton Primary School. He started playing the cornet 3 years ago and stated in the
                         Senior Band 2 years ago on 3rd cornet and has now progressed to 2nd cornet . He plays rep in training
                         band and plays his cornet in the school orchestra. He has played at numerous contests and competitions,
                         his highlight coming 2nd out of 22 in the 12 & under section at bideford when he was only 10yrs. He
                         passed his grade 4 cornet this year and is now practising for his grade 5. Sleeping and eating are his main
                         concerns in life. However playing his cornet, swimming, scouts, cross country and walking his dog
                         (sometimes) takes up his remaining time. His aim is to play his cornet as well as Greg Morgan and take
                         his seat in the band!
