Shanklin Town Brass Band regret to announce the sad death of James Sparks on 28th June 2009.

James, aged 17, played in both the Senior and Youth Sections of Shanklin Town Brass Band, playing Repiano Cornet with the Youth Band and Second Cornet with the Senior Band.

He joined the Band six years ago when his family relocated to the Island, and learnt his musical craft with the Band and the Brass Academy.  He took his Associated Board Grade III on cornet, Grade V theory, which he passed with distinction, and was working towards his Grade V practical exam.  At the SCABA Spring Contest in Hove in 2008, James won the Best Youth Instrumentalist prize.

Shanklin Town Brass Band would like to offer their condolences to Yvonne and Christopher, James' parents, and to his family and friends.

Youth Band Concert Sunday 5th July Rylstone Gardens 3pm
