I know it has been a while, but we've been busy. Our last post was in March of 2011. Here's a quick recap of the past two years.

2011: The band played around 15 to 20 jobs that year. Anywhere from parades to college graduations. That's where we get the money to do the fun stuff like competitions. We competed at three games that year. Out of the three, we took first at The Great American Irish Festival in Herkimer, NY. On the lighter side, our Pipe Major got married in September. I would tell you about the wedding, but I don't remember much. It was a great party!! Also, the Munro clan welcomed their newest addition, Isaac Munro.

2012: We played about the same number of jobs, just like we do every year. We did pretty well in the competition circle. Out of the five games we competed at, we placed 1st at the Round Hill Highland Games and the Central New York Scottish Games. On the lighter side, band members Matthew and Siobhan Kelly welcomed a son in March and band members Jenn Munro and Kennie Farrigan got hitched. That was a great party also and again, I don't remember much of that one either.

So that's a short roundup of what we've been up too. The band is already into the job season of 2013 with the Albany & Delhi St. Patrick's Day parades in the books. We're going to try and get back to writing posts on a regular basis to keep you informed as to what we're doing and to remind us of what we've done.
