It all began in October 1994 and the band was officially launched on March 16th. They played their first engagement on St. Patrick's Day 1995 in their native Newbridge. Children, boys and girls, began to learn the pipes and drums in 4th. At first we had 9 fully trained Pipers and six Drummers. This increased to fourteen Pipers and eighteen Drummers within the year.
Pipers have two lessons each week after school hours.
Drummers have one lesson per week. The Senior Band practise for two hours on Wednesdays. They have played in County Cork at the Millstreet International Horse Show. They have played for the American Ambassador, Mrs. Jean Kennedy Smith at her residence in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. On November 1st.
