Premier Equipment

We are very pleased to announce the arrival of our new drums from Premier   so we can put down our tired old practice drums for a while and let the secretary revamp them and play on the finest military drums made in the world today. With our Miller Browne and Ferris flutes we can now hold our heads up high alongside the best of the best. All of our drums are in the military livery seen in the illustrations below.

 

                                                                             

                                                                                    

 

                                    

                                       

        

New Sponsorship
We have been fortunate to obtain sponsorship from Westlea Housing for funding to provide monies to rent our wonderful practice hall for a further year. For this we have to thank our stalwart member Paul Ellis who arranged for his employers to visit and to see and hear our members playing. This is great news and all our members owe a huge vote of thanks to Westlea Homes for their benevolence.

Important Information

Starting in January 2012, the band practice night has been moved to Wednesday evenings from the existing Fridays. This decision was made by the committee after sounding out as many of the members as possible to find an evening which is most convenient for the majority of the membership. It is realised that this may be inconvenient to some but whichever night you choose this is likely to be the case, we had to accommodate the majority in order to keep up the membership. Timings will be the same and we will endeavour to include weekend meetings in the New Year when the weather is more suitable. If anyone has a particular problem please inform either the Chairman or the Secretary and it will be further discussed.

 

The Corps of Drums Society, of which we are a corporate member, may be looking to perform in the 2012 Malta Tattoo, we will keep you informed about this when any positive information is forthcoming.
