A spokesperson told 4BR: "Micah is enthusiastic, energetic, motivated and ambitious — all qualities that are sure to push the band forward to achieve great things under his leadership."

He has also conducted the Coventry University Orchestra as well as a number of bands in the Midlands including Coventry Festival, City of Coventry Brass and City of Wolverhampton Brass.

We want to work as a team to get the most out of our banding, both musically and socially and we firmly believe that Micah is the right person to help us achieve thisBand spokesperson

Moving forward

The spokesperson added: "Micah is also excited to challenge the band with music that we want to play and that will be entertaining for our audiences. Over the coming months we will be moving forward with our project with composer Chris Long which will result in two further bespoke pieces written specifically for us.

We want to work as a team to get the most out of our banding, both musically and socially and we firmly believe that Micah is the right person to help us achieve this."
