Tony Marriott started playing in the early 1980s, envious of his children's enjoyment of their music groups. He played for Harpenden Band for a few years until it disappeared and, after a break during which withdrawal symptoms became stronger, joined St Albans when it consisted of about a dozen players and no hope of being a serious fourth section contender.
Tony still regards playing as part of his therapy.
He is also chairman of the National Children's Wind and Chamber Orchestras of Great Britain and, as there is a national shortage of young euphonium players, has occasionally become the oldest 15 year old in the business for the sake of musical balance.
Tony worked for many years as a Consulting Engineer, starting his working life in aerospace and spending most of it in the construction industry. He is now retired but is still kept very busy! Tony is Chairman of the Trustees of the St Albans City Band.
