Hannah is the newest member of HSB, joining in late September 24. She had become a regular dep on 2nd Trombone and now has permanently taken up the 2nd Trombone seat after spending an exciting weekend away with the band, performing on the Reading Town Hall stage.
Hannah has been exposed to music right from the start as she was born into a musical family with grandparents, parents and siblings all playing a musical instrument, with fond memories of sitting in the pit orchestra for stage shows where her grandma played the piano.
Hannah started playing when she was around the age 7 years old. She was first introduced to the world of brass bands when being taken along to the local brass band her parents played in as there was no baby sitter, eventually joining in herself. When at Secondary school Hannah joined the Devon Youth Brass Band and loved the idea she was able to play music and socialise with other people her age.
Hannah then went on to play with Lympstone band in 2005, leaving in 2019 to concentrate on other things, but keeping her hand in by joining the Exeter Railway Band on Principle Trombone, where she also took up the post of Social Secretary, organising social events for the band members.
In her spare time Hannah enjoys an early morning swim before going to work, building up her walking repertoire and most importantly, socialising with her friends and family. Hannah is really looking forward to her new adventure with HSB and loves to get stuck into new challenging pieces.
