He added: “The piece that I had to play was quite challenging in some parts so I was really pleased to have been given the award by the adjudicators.

“I started playing about four years ago in the bronze band before moving up to playing with the seniors and I really enjoy it.

“Playing in the band is great. It’s the best level we have played at for a long time.

“I’m hopeful that when I leave school I will be doing a musical course at college or university.”
