FULL REPORT: The band travelled to Ballymena for Ballykeels annual competition parade. There seemed to be a very good turnout with what seemed to be well over 40 bands attending. We played very well for our small numbers, with the members present having a very enjoyable evening. The parade finished with the host band marching which gave them a chance to show off their new uniforms, which I think youll all agree are very smart indeed.
