Well before the exciting news, some exciting saspb news.
Grade 3 starts tonight. A re-building year for sure, but i'm confident that with the right people in place things will be strong in no time.
Now other news.
First a few weeks back we marched a band at the Morden Corn and Apple Festival. Great parade, with a free corn, apple pie, and soft drink lunch! Dylan Knight was in heaven.
The big news that came out of this parade is Glenaura.
We were warming up when all of a sudden these cars all pull up and out jumps a pipe band. Not some rickety barely a band pipe band but an official competitive sized band! Glenaura marches again. Tenors, bass, snares, pipes, and they sounded great! Huge congratulations to all involved, it was great to see.
Now i'm not sure if they intend on being competitive or not, but I sure hope so.
The other news is that Kenora Scottish is up and active again. We did a parade/gig last season with them and it was great. Wes and I will be working with the band throughout the season to get them clicking.
Again I have no clue whether the band will attempt to be competitive again some day. Maybe not. But it's nice to see some more pipe bands popping up around our community.
I'll keep you posted these bands and what's happening I have my sources looking into it.
See you at practice.
Sean
