Euphoniums and Baritones
Despite looking similar and being of the same pitch, baritones and euphoniums belong to two different families of instruments. The baritone being part of the smaller horn family while the euphonium is part of the larger tuba (bass) family
DANNY CRAWFORD - Euphonium
Danny has been playing in the band since his schooldays, thus making him one of the longest serving members. He is one of the elite few who have celebrated (or commiserated) over 25 years in the band. He originally started by playing cornet, then moved to soprano and then onto Euphonium about fifteen years ago. After a year's break he rejoined the band playing Baritone, and has now recently returned to his favourite instrument.
ANDY BURCHETT – Baritone
Andy is the longest serving member of the band, and in that time had until recently played only two instruments – the smallest (cornet) and the biggest (B Flat Bass). Andy’s latest challenge is the Baritone.
