Once again the band was out and about on New Year’s Eve in what has become something of a tradition for our members.  The first parade at Kennedy Park is always popular with children following the band as march around the holiday park.  Our visits to the clubs are always an opportunity to pass the buckets around as this is one of our important fund raising activities for the year.  Its interesting to see the numbers in the clubs changing over the years and our collectors have commented that fewer people are carrying cash these days.

The finale on the parade with the crowd that gathers enjoying our music is something we look forward to.  Marching away with a big crowd behind us is always a great way to end the evening.
