For the first time last season, the Band were able to boast three generations of the same family performing in the Drum Corps.
For a number of years, Grandfather Don Wilson, who has been a stalwart of the Corps since 1974, was joined by his daughter Michelle in 1986. Michelle, who was our fist female member, had attended engagements since an early age before becoming a competent side drummer. Following a break to get married and progress her career, she returned to the fold in 2008 accompanied at rehearsals by her daughter Natasha who became interested in Tenor Drumming as she wanted a ‘different’ hobby. Now a full playing member of the Band, Natasha hopes to, one day, grow up to be a Piper!!!! She would also recommend the Band to any other young people who have an interest in music and would like a different type of hobby in a friendly environment.
