The 2007 season is quickly approaching. The band has increased in both piping and drumming numbers and we are all looking forward to competing. Our first contest will be at the Hanover Indoors on April 28th. Please check out our Calendar for our upcoming events. If you are interested in coming out to join/listen/watch, we are at our NEW practice location in the Galt Legion Hall @ 4 Veteran's Way, Cambridge, ON. We practice from 7pm - 9pm. Once the weather is more appropriate, we will be practicing outside either at the legion or at a predetermined location. Please check back often as the photos will be changing as well as adding pictures for the roster section. Thanks for everyone continuing support of the band and we look forward to seeing everyone this coming season!
We are looking for NEW MEMBERS! We plan on moving up to Grade 3 for the 2007 season. We are looking for Pipers and Drummers of all talent levels.
