The Noosa and District Pipe Band are very excited to be out of restrictions and able to go out and entertain in the community.
With new young Pipe Major Rod Echague and World Class Tutor Robert Gibb, the Band has been learning lots of exciting new tunes.
During Covid lockdown, the Band members kept practicing at home and were using video links to keep playing together as they learnt the new tunes.
The Band is in the process of organising a new programme to encourage more people to learn the pipes and drums and are always ready to welcome new members.
They love going out and performing and letting people hear the tunes that they have spent so much time practicing.
They had a fantastic St Patrick’s Day and recently played for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships at Maroochydore followed by an Anzac Service at the Eumundi Markets, and then on to a big Anzac Day leading the Eumundi, Tewantin and Cooroy Street Parades.
The Band are looking forward to many more functions such as birthdays and weddings throughout the year.
Boondooma “Scots in the Bush“ weekend is set for August and they are hoping all the local community events they usually play will go ahead this year.
Noosa And District Pipe Band would also like to say a big thank you to Noosa Council for approving their recent grant application.
