28th Dec
After a hectic December I finally have found time to
update the site.
The month started with the senior band taking part in a fundraising
concert with the critically acclaimed Trumpet and Organ duo - "The
Trumpet Shall Sound". The pea soup freezing fog didn't put people
off attending the event at Burns and Old Church in Kilsyth and £530
was raised for band funds.

The senior band was
joined by the rapidly expanding juniors for the end of year concert
at the Croy miners welfare institute.
The senior band have also appeared at the festival of light, Kilsyth
Bandstand and the busy period culminated in 2 days outside the local
Tesco in Craigmarloch where just over £1000 was raised for band
funds.
The band would like to thank the public, audiences and supporters
for attending our events in 2008.
Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!

After a well
deserved break the band have had a hectic couple of weekends

The band also had a great day out last weekend at Brass in
the Park, followed by Sunday morning at Clyde FC. For
