We are coming to Nelson and Murchison this weekend!
You can see us today (16/2) at the Murchison A & P show playing at 1:30pm and tomorrow at the Saxon Sports Grounds at 4:30pm!
Today was a memorable day for the band as SSGT Johnston stepped down from his role as Band Master. Phil has held the longest Band Master tenure with a 7 year stint and has done a fantastic job.
The baton (and the Band Masters Buddha) has been handed over to SGT Fiu.
We are proud to have six members of the band joined with seven other Defence Force Musicians in this contingent. Best of luck to all.
NEWS || A 44-member contingent will mark the centenary of the liberation of Le Quesnoy in France on Sunday. It is the final New Zealand overseas commemorative activity for the First World War centenary.
