Hello
everyone!
So sorry
about the long period between updates! As you have probably seen, our schedule
has been quite busy these last few months. The upcoming fall season will prove
to be just as busy.
The band was
called on three times this past July and August to help honor fallen
brothers in Reading, Pa (Police Officer LODD), and Montgomery County, Pa also
another lost a brother Police Officer.
The band lost
a close friend Us Army Ranger Sgt. Plutino this past August. We had the honor
of piping Sgt. Plutino home, along with our brother and sister pipers and
drummers from the following bands - Northern Va. Firefighters Emerald Society
Pipes and Drums, Montgomery County Md. Firefighters Pipes and Drums, Baltimore
City FF's Pipes and Drums, Atlantic City Fire Dept. Sand Pipers & Drums and
Brian Boru Pipes & Drums. All are heroes who should never be forgotten.
The
band also made another one of our famous road trips to Baltimore on July
7th to help dedicate a piece of Steel from the World Trade Center along with
our brothers and sisters from the south.
Ok, here we
go with our schedule for the upcoming fall season…
We start our
road tour with a day that we will never forget. The band will be performing
at a number of 9-11 events. The day starts out performances at the Mantua, NJ
and Chews Landing FD 9-11 ceremonies, both at 8:30 am. The whole
band will be performing at the Brooklawn, NJ event at 2pm. We will then head to
Salem County's 9-11 ceremony at 6pm.
Two weeks
later, the band heads back to North Wildwood Irish Festival being
held September 24th and 25th. We will be performing once
again at the Pipe Band Expo at 8th and Central at 10am on September 24th,
and the parade on Surf Ave at 1pm on the 25th. Look for us at the
end!
The band will
have a week off and then we will be parading in Tinnicum Twp., PA on October 8th
with the Darby FD for the Delaware County Fireman’s Parade at 11am.
After that,
it's back on the road again and down to Emmitsburg, Maryland for the National
Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend (October 14th & 15th).
We hope to
see you at some of the events we will be performing at! Thank you so much for
your support!! Till next time stay well and safe!!!
Mick.
