In addition, the trombone team sees the addition of Philip Rose and Max Lawrence on solo and second trombone respectively.
The experienced Lauren Rosborough joins on percussion, whilst Jo Hall comes in on second horn.

New conductor
Unfortunately, the band has temporarily lost the services MD Alan Widdop who led them to its success last year, as after waiting for a call for an operation, is due to go into hospital in the next few days. His place at the helm will be taken by the experienced Mark Peacock.
A spokesperson added: "Although Mark has had just under two weeks working with us, he has already made a great impression and we are really looking forward to playing under him at Huddersfield."
