first i heard of that? might be rather a fun evening methinks

[kintyre 84]

I am sure it will .....!

[kintyre 84]

Hoy you lot, this is an important thread, stop your silly antics!!!

Just a wee update, 17 Bands have entered and organisers are delighted. Hoping for good weather now and a big crowd to spectate. After the competition and prizegiving, a march by all bands down Castlehill to Aqualibrium will take place. Should be a great sight.

Don't forget the dance at night. Enjoy the music provided by 77 and The Democrats, songs suitable for all ages.

so thinking the dance might be a fun evening is silly antics? my love of the school bands is second only to kippers, the event is taking place on my back door step and i'd love to hear the democrats play. so permit me my silly wee antics or not, i'll enjoy the day either way

[kintyre 84]

No worries though, just wanted to highlight the day again!

higher power of your own choosing, preserve us from those who's heads are so far up their own erchie they feel the need to be antic police on every thread, next we'll have a list of rules regarding what can and can't be said, oh we do? that explains a lot.

see you all at the field, i know you won't either but be my guest to try

news?

[kintyre 84]

After a disasterous start, it turned out to be a great day only hampered by the weather!

3 marquees were blown away in the stormy conditions after 6.00 am in the morning, 2 probably completely destroyed. A lampost stopped one, but was bent in 2 and had to be removed.

The helpers rallied round and re built the show field and despite the wind being so bad, the competition went ahead with great successes from the local bands.

I am sure someone in the know can post the full results but I know that Kintyre Schools Novice Juvenile were 2nd in Grade 4, Kintyre Schools Juvenile won Grade 3 and Kintyre Schools grade 3 were third. Well done to them!

I will attempt to post some pictuure:
