Verity is a third year biology student with a real dedication to brass band. She loves her Cornet and enjoys practising for at least five hours every day - much to the delight of her housemates!

Social Secretary - Ben Norman

Ben was a 1st year computer science student but is now going to become a 1st year international business student, owing to him having no real idea what he wants to do with his life, post university. For the mean time he enjoys banding and rowing as well as conducting symphonic brass. He currently plays cornet on front row, which he has been playing for about 12 years, but he feels it may be a time for a change, he is thinking about contra basoon. Ben vehemently disputes that Yorkshire is a “proper brass banding county” and is a proud Midlander. Leicester > Harrogate.
