Saltash youngsters maintain uniformed standards

Slatash
  The youngsters have been a great internet hit with family and friends

Two young players of Saltash Town Band have been setting a brilliant example to their fellow players despite being unable to go to weekly band rehearsals due to the current Coronavirus pandemic.

Family and friends

Having worn their brand new stage uniforms for the first time at the recent West of England area, brother and sister Lowena and Neythen Powell-Jones aged just 9 and 8 respectively have taken the opportunity to wear them again in for their own performances for family and friends.

As you can imagine they have become a great hit — although the both the band and their parents are hoping that they don't grow out of their jackets before the band start performing again!
