As a mum of a member of the Academy who has been with the band from the start, I would like to say how fantastic it is to see how well the Academy has progressed since forming. This is not just down to the youngsters who are doing such a terrific job, but also to Phil,Lee and Stuart who dedicate so much time to training them. Good luck at Bugle!

I had the pleasure to come down to Lanner on Sunday last,and was impressed to hear the academy students perform.My two great grand children(Caroline&Thomas Condy)are now members of your ,andacademy and are realy enjoying the experience.I was for 28 years the trainer of Bodmin youth band as well as playing in the senior band and only know the hard work involved

Congratulations to the Academy for a very enjoyable and well performed concert at Lanner School on Sunday.
We would also like to say "well done" to those players who were awarded Certificates and those awarded trophies.

How saddened I was to read about the mindless vandalism that you have had put up with over the past few weeks. So many of you putting in so much work only to see it wrecked by this set of mindless morons who have nothing better to do with there lives. Fingers crossed these people are caught and punished.
