In 2005 Carharrack & St Day Silver Band lost
a valuable member of the band, with the passing
of Mr. Dennis Lloyd. Mr Lloyd was a percussion
player in the band for many years. When he
finished his playing career he became the
Chairman of the band, and also the band's
Life President. He was a very popular member
of the band, and will be sadly missed.
Mr Lloyd's family presented the band with
a legacy in memory of him. |
The band members put forward a number of suggestions
as to what the money should be put towards.
They decided to buy a piece of percussion,
a suggestion of a new marching drum was made
and accepted. The new marching drum was first
used at the Remembrance Parade in November
last year, by the present percussionist Aaron
Penberthy, who felt very honoured.
After the march the drum was blessed by Father
Andrew Gough. |
The Lloyd family were unable to attend this
march, so in the New Year a number of band
members went to see Mrs Lloyd to have the
drum dedicated to Mr Lloyd.
The new marching drum will be used regularly
for a number of marches throughout the coming
year including St Day Feast in June. |
