Solo Euphonium – Antony Sanders

Antony has played in every section of the National Brass Band championships with: Longland Brass (Luton), Herts County Youth, South West Herts (Watford), St Albans City and the Hitchin Bands, before being invited to join the highly renowned Championship Section Clacton-on-Sea Co-operative Band in 1984 where he played Solo Euphonium for 16 years, winning the title London and Southern Counties Euphonium Champion in 1988.

In 1996 he was appointed Assistant Musical Director of the Clacton on Sea Co-operative Band before, in 2000 being invited to take on the Musical Directorship of Tendring Brass, who were then known as ‘Harwich Royal British Legion Brass Band’.
