I'm Andrew; I live on the Isle of Wight. My family and I are all active members of Medina Marching Band. Medina Marching Band is a military styled youth marching band based on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. I have three children between the ages of 7 and 15. The youngest plays cymbals and the two older children play cornet and take an active roll in the band. There's not much time for anything else other than listening to quality music, preparing for band practice, creating scores etc. Unfortunately I have to go to work but I make sure there's time for my passion for one of the most respected youth marching bands in the UK. The band takes a lot of my time but the hard work is worth it! Medina Marching Band welcomes both established and new supporters!
