- We are a flute band from the town of Armadale, in West Lothian. We were formed in 1983 and have been going from strength to strength ever since.
We parade in various parts of Scotland throughout the year with:
Armadale Purple Star LOL 111 - District 26
Harthill LOL 217 - District 30
Harthill RBP - Airdrie & Coatbridge District
We travel over to Lurgan for the 12th of July celebrations in Ulster, and we've built up a close relationship with Boyne Star LOL 16 from County Armagh, and Warringstown RBP. We encourage all our members to travel over for the 12th, and a good time is had by all.
We also participate in local Gala-days.
Our music ranges from military marches, to traditional Orange selections, played in both melody and first flute parts.
People may try and divide us..........They will never succeed!!!
