Front Row

Greg Morgan: Greg is a local Company Director, he started playing when he was 8 years old in Cornwall and was lucky
                        enough to play under some marvellous conductors such as Mr Freddie Roberts and Major Arthur Kenny.
                        Greg was fortunate to sit in the same cornet line as the great Derek Garside when he was on holiday in
                        Cornwall and Greg was playing with St Austell. He still remembers his wide sound after thirty years.
                        In 1980 he took a short break when he went away to college and did not touch a musical instrument for
                        twenty years until 2000 when he joined Hatherleigh. He took a year out in 2002/3 to play with Bodmin and
                        was lucky enough to play under some marvellous conductors - and was hugely inspired by Russell Gray.
                        Now he has come home to Hatherleigh he is passing some of this knowledge on to the adult trainees in
                        the band and has become the Musical Director of the new Training Band. Playing the cornet and tutoring are
                        his hobbies and they take a huge amount of time. Greg loves visiting foreign lands, eating out and the odd
                        glass of wine.
                        After thirty odd years in the closet he has come out and proudly announced that he is a Chelsea supporter.

Tina Pillivant:
                              Tina works as an Office Supervisor and learnt the Cornet with the Salvation Army at the age of 9. In 1993 Tina
                       joined The Tiverton Town Band on 2nd Cornet for 2 weeks before moving onto Flugel for 3 years and then finally
                       onto Principal Cornet. There isn't much time for hobbies as Tina loves guesting for other Bands with husband
                       Graham.Tina enjoys playing with a great bunch of guys and girls at Hatherleigh and HSB are lucky to have
                       her as a member of the Band for Contests and whenever her commitments with TIverton allow.

Mike Boother: Mike (Peter Pan) is our ever young 40 something! He sits in the assistant Principal chair when he remembers
                        not to sit with the Euphoniums! Mike is the band's smart dresser! When he is not designing bridges and
                        Airports (though he claims to have had nothing to do with Terminal 5!), he is running the local scout group or
                        helping with the Training Band. He has two children, Emily and Thomas. Given that his wife is the Head of the
                        School in Hatherleigh, we cannot understand why Mike is not better behaved at band?!
