Hello and thanks for looking on my intro! I will try not to make it too boring. My name is Katy, I am 15 and I live in Auchterarder in sunny Scotland! I play euph, trombone and bass trombone, though I started on trumpet 6 and a bit years ago. After a couple of years of that and flugel I was onto euph and trom and occasionally EEb bass if it's very desperately needed. I play with Perthshire Brass (band of class). :biggrin: We're in the middle of the 3rd section at the moment after coming 7th at the Scottish this year. I play bass trombone in PB, 2nd trombone in Perth Youth Orchestra, euphonium in my school windband and brass band and in Perth & Kinross Senior Schools Brass Band, bass trombone in Perth & Kinross big band, trombone in 4's A Crowd brass quartet, and I have applied for NYBBS this year which is very exciting! As you can see I love to do as much musical stuff as I can volunteer for! Thanks to my playing I have travelled to France, Estonia, and, in 2 days time, Czech Republic. Banding is great! My other hobbies are writing (see the tMP Soap ), reading, badminton, cycling and socialising. Joining tMP has been brilliant as it has opened my eyes to the world of banding. As I only started banding in Dec 2002, and joined tMP Feb 2003, it has been with me almost all through my banding life and it is thanks to tMP that I have found about lots of things about music and banding. I get very excited about the future when I think of all the cool people I have yet to meet, the contests to go to, and the pieces to play! One day I would love to go to a tMP event when i am a bit older and when there is one near me. During my time on tMP I have written a soap, been a BOC Bro housemate, and been generally very groovy in every way. I hope you have loads of fun here - the people are all fantastic! Groovy x x x x
With enthusiasm around like Katy's, who says that brass bands will die out? As our American cousins say; "You GO, girl!" And best regards, Jack
A soap? I love a good soap (Poldark anyone?) Hello Katy *waves in a northerly direction* you sound awesome!
Like too many. I miss Bigmama badger, Mr B, Mr H and Hellsbones to name just a few. Your lovely lady is not on here much either. I feel a new thread coming on - a lament for the missing...
