Thank you to Mark Wrightson
November 10, 2009One year ago, during an evening in the pub after a concert, Sam and Lynda were sitting in their band uniform when a young man came over to them and asked "Do you play in a Brass Band?". From then on, Mark has been a member of our front row cornet section and has shown much committment. He is also responsible for the Raunds Wesbite getting back up and running!! Mark is now returning to University in York, and the Raunds Band would like to thank him for his tremendous hard work over the last year. Good luck with your studies and you are always welcome back whenever you like!!
