We love this post from Lochgelly High School Pipe Band 💪

Congratulations to all of the pupils who performed at the World solo drumming competition yesterday 🥁

We know and appreciate the work that goes into such a performance so a huge well done from brass to pipes 🎺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Celebrating Success 👏– A Message of Pride

We are incredibly proud of our pupils who competed yesterday at the World Solo Drumming Championships in Glasgow. To step forward and perform on a world stage, against some of the toughest competition in the world, takes an enormous amount of courage, dedication and self-belief.
Every one of our pupils should be immensely proud of themselves, not only for how well they performed, but for the hard work, commitment and determination it takes to reach this level. Having the confidence to stand up, give your very best and compete against the world’s finest drummers is an achievement in itself.
You have represented yourselves, your families and Lochgelly High School Pipe Band with pride. We know the hours of practice, the sacrifices and the determination that go into preparing for a competition of this calibre, and we hope you take great confidence from the experience.
You have done yourselves proud, and we could not be prouder of every single one of you. Keep believing in yourselves, keep working hard and keep striving to be the best you can be. You should all hold your heads high – you have earned it.

A great morning meeting some funders - it's always good to meet new potential partners but also, today we've been able to take the opportunity to say thank you to some of those who have supported our development in recent years 🙏

Thank you FVA and Fife Council for the invitation to today's event 👌

As the work to tranform our bandhall continues, we're delighted to show off our latest investment 👌

Whilst it's been a PANE-staking process indeed - the end result is crystal clear ✨️

Thank you to the team at Windsor Interiors for their amazing craftsmanship 💪

Supporting our members on and off stage matters.

Creating a safe and supportive culture within brass bands is our collective responsibility.
