New Signings at Cory
Cory Band has announced the signing of Danny Jones to join Glyn Williams in the euphonium section, whilst Joel Collier will move up to solo baritone with new signing Jamie Jones completing the section.
Danny joins from Aldbourne Band where he has occupied the solo euphonium chair for the past three years following time spent with Woodfalls and Llwydcoed. Danny studied at the RWCMD before joining British Army Band Tidworth in 2020. Commenting on his appointment, Danny said: "It's a great privilege to join the band. I'd like to thank everyone at Aldbourne for their friendship and support over the last three years and wish them every success for the future."
Joel is from Philadelphia and joined Cory after relocating to Wales last May. He works at Cardiff University and has also been developing his skills as a composer. Jamie has been a regular dep with the band over the last few years including appearing with the band at the 2023 European Championships in Malmo.
Commenting on the significant section changes, MD Philip Harper stated, "Danny has been a great friend of the Cory Band for a number of years, and played with us when we won the 2022 European title in 2022, as well as our tour to South Korea. He always has a very positive influence on those around him, as well as being a highly accomplished player, and I'm delighted to be able to welcome him. Joel has really impressed me since he got his chance to join the band. He is full of ambition and I'm certain he will grasp this opportunity to establish himself as a Cory principal, and Jamie is a real team player, and I'm delighted that he has accepted the second baritone role to form a formidable team."
