Miles Amherst Junior Progress Trophy for the Junior member who has made most progress during the year - Lucy Windsor

Lucy started to play the Cornet with the Band in 2005. She soon found that her real calling was for Tenor Horn though! Now age 15, Lucy is a valued member of the Senior Band and also plays Solo Horn with the Gloucestershire Youth Brass Band.

Fred Poole Memorial Cup for the Musician of the year - Gerry Petticrew Gerry joined the Training Band in 2007 after a gap from playing since he was at school! He soon joined the senior band and changed from Tenor Horn to Eb Bass as there was a space which needed filling in the band! Gerry has made fantastic progress and now confidently leads the Bass section following George's departure to University this year.
	Jeff Clarke Cup awarded to the Band Member of the Year - Hadrian Walters Voted for by the members of the band rather than the Musical Director, this award recognises all the work Hadrian does for the band as well as his playing. Trombone player Hadrian regularly sources music for the band and is greatly involved in the Training Band giving weekly lessons and helping out. Hadrian has played with the Band since 1991. 20 Years!
	Francis Martin Memorial Cup for the Section of the Year - Horns including Flugels

Dave Crowe Memorial Cup for the Cornet Player of the Year - Hannah Williams Hannah has been an outstanding member of the Cornet section this year. Whilst Helen (Principal cornet) was pregnant and then a new mother, Hannah played a brilliant supporting role and then stepped in to the role of Principal Cornet whilst Helen was absent from the Band. Many thanks from Helen and the Band to Hannah for taking this on and doing it so well!
