A massive shout out to Bute Vintage Club for their fantastic donation of £1000 towards our Novice Juvenile Pipe Band. It was very kind of you to select us as one of this year's recipients.

The money will be put to good use to purchase new items of uniform for our ever growing squad of young pipers and drummers.

Thank you to Kenny and Kevin who presented some of our Novice Juvenile Band with the cheque on Thursday before our games night😊

A huge congratulations to one of our very own tenor drummers, Kora, and her new husband, Ryan, who got married yesterday! ✨🎉

It was such a brilliant evening, and we all danced our socks off! 🕺 Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, laughter and wonderful memories. Here’s to the beginning of an amazing new chapter together as husband and wife! 💍

From everyone in the band, we wish you both all the very best for the future as the new Mr & Mrs Leitch. ❤️

What a fantastic evening! 🎶

A huge thank you to Rothesay Bowling Club for hosting our end-of-season social last night!

A massive thank you to all the members who took time out of their Friday evening to come along and lead the teams. You are always so welcoming — and you’ll definitely make bowlers out of us yet! 😄

The evening started with our bowls tournament, followed by one of Piper Major Neil’s famous quizzes, then onto a raffle 🎉

🏆 Well done to our winning bowls team:
Beth, Campbell, Jane, Lilly & Kiera! 👏🎳

🧠 And congratulations to our winning quiz team:
Laura, Richard, Jim, Charlie Fiona and Peter 🏆👏

Finally, a big thank you to The West End Cafe Rothesay for providing a fantastic buffet — it went down a treat! 😋

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a brilliant evening. What a lovely way to round off the season! ❤️🖤🤍

Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be for our Grade 3B band today, as we didn’t qualify.

However, it was still a fantastic experience getting the opportunity to play in the main Grade 1 arena, and we were really happy with our performance! 🎶👏

Lots to be proud of, and we’ll take the experience and keep pushing forward. Onwards and upwards! 💪

Now it’s onto our home games next week for both bands — we can’t wait! ✨

Well, unfortunately our Novice Band didn’t qualify today, but it wasn’t all bad! ❤️🤍🖤

They had the amazing opportunity to step into the Grade 1 arena for their performance — their first ever time competing at the World Pipe Band Championships! What an achievement! 🥁🎶

Every single one of them has worked so hard throughout the year to get here, and they should be incredibly proud of themselves. 👏

Well done again, everyone!🎵
