| Portrait of Roy Trelease |
|
Born at Carnon Downs, Roy
Trelease moved to St. Day at the age of three. He attended
St. Day C.P. School and then Trewirgie Senior School. He still
lives in the village of St. Day.
His brass band career began at the age of eleven with Trewirgie
School Band. After a couple of years with Redruth Band he
joined the Carharrack and St. Day Silver Band in 1966 and
stayed for five years before going to Lanner Band where he
played for some fifteen years.
During this time he played a variety of instruments including
soprano, cornet, tenor horn, baritone and euphonium
|
|
He then retured to Redruth
Band for two years and then returned to Lanner as Musical
Director.
By 1988 he was back at Carharrack and St. Day. He played tenor
horn for them at the National Final's in London in October
1989 while on honeymoon.
|
Following this he decided to retire from
banding, but as any true brass bandsperson knows, the pull is
too strong to stay away for long, and from 1990 - 1993 he played
tenor horn for Pendennis Brass at Falmouth with his two step-sons.
When the position of Musical Director became available with
Carharrack and St. Day Silver Band in late 1994, he applied
for the post, and has been conducting the band since January
1995.
At Lanner, Falmouth and now at Carharrack and St. Day he has
successfully built up the youth sections of the bands, so ensuring
the future of brass banding in these areas. |
