Today we had our final rehearsal for the Job at the Officers Mess, the band is really coming together and everyone is confident that it will be a good show. The Band was allowed to take most of the afternoon off to prepare for the job in the evening.
That evening we all gathered in the Band Block and were we all helped each other get into our NO.1 uniform, especially the cloak, which is nearly impossible to get on by yourself. We then all marched over to the officers mess, where the Officer in command of the BP&D welcomed us with a bottle of port.
At 1815 hours the bugles began the fanfare and we stepped off to The Green Glens of Antrim and the Star of the County Down. The show concisest of the Bugles, Pipes and Drums play the lovely slow air " The Last of the Great Whales", a set of Marches, Reels, Jigs and Hornpipes by the Pipes and Drums, a Drummers Salute and the march off of the Regimental March.
The show went very well and the Officers and guests were very pleased. We ended the evening back at the Stormy before heading back to Camp and our beds.
