A Successful Year
As we approach the end of 2007, it is time to reflect on what has been a very busy and successful year for the band.
In the course of 2007, the band has been to a number of parades and contests in support of other bands and flute band associations. The parades are always beneficial for the band and very enjoyable for its members, and on the contest front the bands hard work and efforts throughout the year have largely been rewarded.
