Valerie Hope - 2nd Cornet

Val joins the back row previously from playing a........... string instrument! However, Val came to her senses and joined a brass band! Joining in 2001, Val learnt the cornet from scratch and can surely boast to have given 110% in effort and commitment.

When not at band Val likes going to gym, using Sibelius to arrange music and most recently, walking her new puppy!
