City of Sails Pipe Band
5/03/18 Preparations are well underway for Rotorua. Our visitors from Northern Ireland are coming to grips with the New Zealand weather and are glad they are suffering from sunburn rather than frost burn with the blizzards sweeping the UK currents. (our thoughts are with everyone there, stay safe and warm). The next few days will see our band at full strength before we take the trip down to Rotorua. The weather forecast fro the weekend is not good, fingers crossed. Good luck to all our fellow bands persons for the weekend. |
