Bit about Mark too

Mark Good began playing the trombone when he was 8, choosing it because it looked the "coolest" instrument! He is also a self-taught drummer, playing in a local rock band.

He has been called upon to play both tenor and bass trombone in various solo, ensemble, brass banding and orchestral work. Mark is a member of the current Scottish Youth Ensemble Champions, Campbeltown Brass Quintet and NYBBS. He is also the bass trombonist with the Youth band and School Wind band and was Principal Bass trombone in the West of Scotland Schools Symphony Orchestra for two years.

Mark has enjoyed participating in solo competitions across the country and winning some along the way! He is the Rotary Club's 2004 "Most Promising Young Musician of the Year", being awarded the Norman Milne Memorial Trophy.

Mark has been accepted into RSAMD 'Youthworks,' the junior academy of music, and will begin studying bass trombone there in September 2006.

Mark also hosts "The Band Show" on the local radio station, Argyll FM.
