The current Chairman and Principal Euphonium is David Newsom. He joined the band at the end of 1986 aged 12, playing Third Cornet. During the subsequent six years he moved gradually up the Cornet line and was playing on the front row when he went to University in 1992.
During his 3 years at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College David played for Egham Town Band during term time, returning to Cranbrook during the holidays. He returned to the band full-time in 1995 and moved to Euphonium, which he still plays.
David was appointed Chairman in February of 1999.
