As well as the french horn I also play trumpet and drums to a reasonable standard. My ability has resulted in being invited to play with the Bucks Youth Wind Orchestra on their tour of Belgium and playing with the award winning Chiltern music Academy Concert band. I am a keen sportsman and excel in many sports my favourite being rugby which I have played for 10 years. I have been in the 1st XV for 3 years now and have been selected for the vice captain role this year. Along with playing rugby, I am a level 2 qualified referee allowing my passion of rugby to be continued through another side of the sport that can allow my understanding of the game to be enhanced. I am keen to help people and communities and a good team member as evidenced when I spent a week in Slovakia rebuilding World War Two bunkers so that people could see the historic values of this defining war of the 20th century. These illustrate the qualities I have, such as a forefront leader, willingness to help others and a good team
