Albert Grammar School. Learner tuition is from 6:30pm before

directions to the practice rooms.
Repertoire
We play
a Grade 3 competition band repertoire, a "set" of March, Strathspey
and Reel, and a competition medley, along with our usual parade and
concert tunes.
Book the band
The band has played at
lots of high-profile corporate, social events and concerts over the
years. We can put together a program or items to suit most
requirements, and are experienced in working with other musical
groups and dancers. Solo pipers are also available.
Fees depend on type of the
event, and the number of players required. All fees go to the
band, which is a non-profit incorporated society registered with the
Chartities Commission. Please contact us if you would like to
discuss your event.
