Rothbury Solos

Well done to Thomas and little Thomas in the drumming solos - 1st and 2nd I believe!

Also well done to Tom for a 3rd in the piping solo

Just to remind everyone as of tonight practice will be held at Byker Middle Club - It's been suggested that if the weather's fine we may do some outdooor practice on the Town Moor

Draw for the Worlds

World Championships at Glasgow Green on 14th August - draw has been made and we are competing at 11.13 (first round)

Phenomenal entry of 60 bands in our grade - 3 sections of 20 bands - first four qualify for final. We are in the third stream band number 60 and last to play in our section!!!

Holiday in Haltwhistle!

Just to remind everyone band performing in Haltwhistle Show this Sunday - we will be partaking of the street parade and a performance in the main ring!

Just to remind everyone to assemble at the Fire and Rescue station in Haltwhistle at 11am - the parade is due off at 12

Happy Birthday Tompa

Many happy returns from everyone at the band!

Cake was nice - Just for your diary Matthew's birthday is on 16th December - I have heard Costco do some nice big cakes!!

Another Trophy!!

What can you say - brilliant result and well done to everone that competed - I don't know whether this was technically Thomas Hamilton's first competition - Any how well done. Playing with 11 pipers - the sound was good. Not the biggest of turn outs - probably due to the proximity of the British Championships. Morgan seems to be becoming a lucky charm - three competitions, three trophies.

In seriousness, I think I can safely say that performance should be dedicated to Tom and his family - yesterday must have been a difficult and emotional day due to the sad loss of his father. All of the band's thoughts are with you.
