EIS March - Glasgow
On Saturday 6 March, the Pipe Band led between 8,000 and 10,000 marchers from the EIS, (Educational Institute of Scotland) from Kelvingrove Park to the Glasgow SECC. The March was approximately 2 1/2 miles long. It was a long hard march to start the season, but it's good for the stamina!! Special mention to the youngsters in the Band (and a few 'old' heads), some who were out for the first time, for 'not giving in' and completing the march.
See our photo galleries for a few pictures from the day
The Band would like to wish our friends, supporters, sponsors and fellow Bands folk, a Happy New Year and good wishes for 2010.
