Hatherleigh Silver Band

Robert Harris:
                         Robert has been a member of the Band for many years and started playing after his son joined the band and
                         he wanted to learn more about the Band. He was a local lad who actually lived only a few steps away from
                         the Band room. Robert has now moved from the town but is always available when called upon for a Contest
                         or a Carnival.

Emily Quick:
                          Emily is a year 7 student at Okehampton College and the youngest member of the Band. She has been learning
                          the Kit since she was 9 at North Tawton school with her Teacher ( John MaCavoy - as above!! )
                          Emily passed her Grade 1 Kit in July 2011 with Distinction and is now working hard towards her next Grade.
                          She competed in her first contest in Sept 2011 - The National Brass Band Championships of GB 4th section  
                          Finals....not a bad place for her to start to start!!
                          From a very young age Emily always leaned towards the natural beat within music and not always the tune,
                          she decided not to follow the rest of her family by learning a Brass instrument and fell in love with the kitchen
                          sink department.  Emily's other hobbies include Netball, Running and of course Television.
