Armistice Day 2018

November 11, 2018 admin

The Band played at the Clive service on Armistice Day. Pipers all around the world registered to take part in the “Sleep in Peace, now the Battle’s Over” event by playing Pipe Major Robb’s classic tune When the Battle’s O’er. We were pleased to be part of the rolling sound of this historic tune travelling across the globe through the various time zones. Our thanks to members of the Hawke’s Bay Caledonian PB who joined us.

Photos from recent parades (Final Night at EIT, Tremains street parade in Taradale and the Hastings Ingleside) have been posted in the band’s website and also on facebook. We just managed to beat the rain on Wednesday night – thanks for the big turnout at both events

Hastings Scots Society Ingleside Sat 19 Dec

The final activity for 2015 is New Year’s Eve: by now you should have let Harry know if you are coming (this includes pipers and drummers). We will meet at 6.15pm at HBRC, Dalton St, to tune up before we depart for our usual celebrations. If you want to blow the Christmas pudding out of your pipes or get the chocolate off the drum sticks prior to this, come down to the band rooms on Monday 28th at 10.30 to make some music.
