Downton Band

Jamie Cherrett

 

Position Soprano Cornet
Nickname “Where’s Jamie?”
When/How I started banding Lord Baden Powell was out with a few of us Cubs when we met a man selling the War Cry for the Salvation Army.  We all went back to his place, where I had a blow on his horn.  The rest is history.
Best-ever banding moment Since joining Downton I’ve come 2nd in the regionals contest – I must be a lucky charm!
Worst-ever/most embarrassing banding moment I keep leaving my music in weird places (NB the band now keeps a spare set for deps and emergencies. Ed). I left a big pile in the toilets at the Dolphin Centre, Poole, once. Nasty.

Favourite band piece Any test piece I can play
Least favourite band piece Any test piece I can’t play. Or have lost the music for…
Anything else... I like the White Horse. Last week I asked the barmaid for a double entendre - and she gave me one…!
