PURPOSE OF PARADE: Competition

SIZE OF BAND

DRUMMERS: 5

TROUBLE: A minor incident near the harbour.

FULL REPORT: The band travelled to Donaghadee for the Fusiliers competition parade. We decided to walk even though we were down to 5 & 10, and although we were very dodgy at the start of the parade, the few members who made the effort to attend this parade, equipped themselves well after the shaky start. We actually finished the parade with 9 fluters after one of the members was asked to leave the ranks for continual talking. The parade itself was very impressive with all the big guns out apart from POTH Rathfriland who were at the S.O.W.S parade in their home town, and the S.B.Y.C who were low on members due to many of the band being on holidays.
