Cubs go Rath

The trombone section of the Cubbington Silver Band has opted to go all Rath.

Cubbington Troms
 

The trombone section of Cubbington Silver Band recently made a trip to the Rath trombone factory.

For the Lower Section National Finals, MD Paul Johnson and guest conductor Gary Smallwood decided a punchier sound was needed from the trombone section.

Help

With the help of Chris Beaumont the players where given the opportunity to select their own tailor made trombone — the result a set of new trombones and a very happy section.

What a difference it has made to the section and after such helpful advice from ChrisPaul Johnson

Difference

So listen out to Simon Titcomb, Simon Burrell and Geoff Goring.

When asked, Paul told 4BR: "What a difference it has made to the section and after such helpful advice from Chris."
