Youth Pipe Band at Port Ahuriri School

Leave a comment

The NZ Foundation Youth Pipe Band visited Port Ahuriri School on Friday 15 April and presented their music to the children.  Links with pipe bands and Ahuriri go back several generations with many of us recalling the days of the Port Ahuriri Pipe Band.  The youngsters at the school were invited to ‘have a go’ and there was much enthusiasm for this as these photos show.
