Alan and Stewart came to the band as youngsters and turned

and the best of friends. Alan was a soloist of some distinction

and also took on the responsibility of Pipe Sergeant for some

years. Also in the picture is Alan's wife Dianne.

years. He later joined the Adelaide University Pipe Band where

he introduced innovative items to the reportoire using keyboards

and other instruments. He is seen here with Pauline Craig.

Old Angus took on the Pipe Major's mantle circa 1975, and

had the privilege of influencing a whole swag of quite brilliant

young talent in their piping careers over the next twenty or so

years. His wife Flora was a constant and loyal supporter of

the band.

Marshal came to our group to learn the tenor drum, and

successfully took the bass drum and eventually the role of

Drum Major in his stride. A popular and hard working bandsman.

real asset to the pipe corps and to the administrative side of

the band as well, in the role of Secretary.

Malcolm came as a youngster to the band, and finally left

to take up a teaching position in Invercargill, New Zealand,

where he spent 10 years. While there he played for the

a period of nearly thirty years. He has served with distinction as

service to the group for many years through to manhood. A talented

piper and a loyal bandsman. Also in the picture is Jane Kearney.

parents, Frank and Sheila - both very loyal supporters of the

band for many years.
