Band Plays Parliament Hill

Our band members were present on Parliament Hill in the nation's capital to perform at the inaugural memorial service for the Canadian Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation this September 12th.  The service was to pay tribute to the 14 Canadian Firefighters who paid the ultimate sacrifice in protecting their communities during 2003. The Canadian Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation is fund raising to erect a national monument in Ottawa to honour the memories of those firefighters we've lost. The band also performed with members of the Toronto Fire Services Band.

The Band attended the Hamilton International Tatoo on June 12 and 13, held at Hamilton's Copps Coliseum. The members participated as part of the core group of Pipe Bands with two performances. The Tatoo was a high-quality event that was well attended.

Orillia Highland Games

The members of the Band are suitably excited about their placing at the Orillia Highland Games on Saturday, July 17, 2004. They took "Best Band on Parade" and won First Place in the Bands Competition.

During the Music Competition they received top marks in all categories competing against 9 other bands.

Members were also recognized for their solo efforts with First Place in Bass Drumming, First in Side Drumming and a Second and Third in Piping.

The Orillia Highland Games is fast becoming a major attraction for Pipe and Drum Bands. This year's event had 27 bands perform in the competitions.
