Chairman
The concert band arrangement was purchased and Summer from the suite became Emma's solo with the band at the summer engagements.
In September at the annual meeting, 27-year-old Louise Bearman became the youngest to be elected to the post of chairman, while Eb tuba player Peter Callaghan was given the achievement award.
He lives in Somerset and was awarded the cup for doing a 300-mile round trip to attend rehearsals and engagements on a regular basis.
Rehearsals are held in the St Erth Methodist Church Hall on Tuesdays, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
Ms Yarwood said the band was always happy to welcome new players.
