Covid Pandemic

All Band activities suspended due to Covid Pandemic

 

The Band’s Constitutional clause 29.2 regarding the dissolution of the Band states ...it is recorded that the Band has failed to appear in public throughout the previous two seasons…

 

Years 2020 and 2021 have been and will be exceptional due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the restrictions on public interactions. The last official appearance of the Band was at a wedding at Harvest Moon, Lochhouses on 29 February 2020.

 

In spite of this we have had individuals playing at the Fidra Nursing Home, the Abbey Care Home, Leuchie House and Hilton Lodge, Haddington at various points throughout the year. With the raising of restrictions during the summer months we were able to have some informal practices on Elcho Green in North Berwick and also a Band performance in July at Leuchie house to celebrate their 9 years as an independent charity. We also had one of our young members piping a socially distanced Santa for the switch on the North Berwick Christmas lights.
