Yes, teams dress up. We will even have a prize for best dressed…however, this is not a requirement! Feel free to just come as you are.

Do we need cash, or can we bring cards?

We will have one Eftpos machine site, but bring cash to keep the lines shorter, get your drinks faster and be able to join in on some games and raffles.

Where does Quiz Night take place?

The Silverdale School Hall.

Silverdale School

Platinum Sponsors

We are offering tuition to those pupils from age 10 years and staff and parents who would like to learn the pipes and or drums.

You are invited to our practice on a Wednesday at 7pm in the St Johns Ambulance Hall 36 Silverdale Street Silverdale. Come for a visit.   

Tuition is FREE on joining the band. 

Learning Piping

A pipe chanter ( similar to a recorder) is all that is needed to start. A new quality plastic one can be purchased for approximately $110.00. The band can help you select one which is needed for ongoing use to learn music after you have progressed to bagpipes.

It is likely to take six months or so before you need a set of bagpipes. We have

limited sets for loan.  

Learning Drumming  

For snare and tenor drumming, a practice pad and a set of band approved sticks are needed. A new set of sticks and a practice pad cost approximately $35.00 each.

The band can help with your selection of sticks to ensure that the sound matches other instruments. Drums are the property of the band and are available for use free of charge.

Uniform and Dress

Band members when they qualify to fill the ranks are issued with a uniform.
