These are the Players in the Peterborough Youth Brass Quintet.
Barron Started the Trumpet in grade 7. He was in all of the school bands, including two which he put together, one a Dixieland band that played only one song, "Dr. Dixieland," and the other a small brass quintet formed to play a a song he arranged, "At the End of the Day" from Les Misérable. His arrangement can be found in the Music section under Difficult

Trombone: David Vardy
David Vardy is often referred to as the "Real" David, but we're not quite sure why he is and not David Tait. Who Knows? David, just like the rest of the group started on the Trombone in grade 7. He made it into all of the school bands as well, and wanted to continue. So when opportunity knocked, he answered!

Tuba: Jeff Bertrim
Jeff Bertrim along with Barron, were the "Founders" of the group. Together they organized the whole sha-bang. Once again, Jeff started the Tuba in grade 7. He made it into all the school bands except the stage band which didn't call for a Tuba.
