Say What You Want We're Still Marching On

At the beginning the band had their first meeting on the 18th October 2005 in the Albert Bridge Band Hall/ My Lady's Road. 

We started from nothing and only had the odd, 1 or 2 member who could play an instrument. it took a lot of work to get it all going but once we got that done we got our  drums and flutes etc. We later then relocated to My Lady's Inn Bar on My Lady's Road, and after a few practices we later got out on the road for our very first parade in Newtownards on the 17th June 2006.

In 2007 we got a grant form the Arts Council  which got us new flutes etc.. In the middle off July 2007 we got our new drums getting this fund made a difference  to the wee band with it all being mostly kids.

Lower Woodstock Ulster Scots Flute Band are now on there 2nd full marching season. Lets make it a lot more.

 As you all know the band is made up from a majority of kids from age's from 6 year olds to 15-16 year olds. As it being all kids you would know it would be hard to make this wee band work but through strength and dedication from the older members off the band and the younger one's we have kept this band going for another season and may it continue.   

We have struggled for members but we will always put a band out weather it be 3 drummers, and 6 fluters. This shows the dedication in the band from the members.

Many people thought we wouldn't last through the first marching season but we have pulled it altogether and pulled through and this is where we are today.

We are currently seeking new members for the forthcoming 2008 marching season. If you want to be part of an up and coming forward thinking band then why not come along to practise on a Monday or Tuesday evening at 7:30pm upstairs in the Longfellow Bar, My Lady's Road.
