Sat 2nd June saw the bus in Ballygawley at Dergina Accordion Bands parade.
It was a lovely evening when we arrived, but as the bands lined up to
parade,
the heavens opened and the bands were soaked.
Sorry no photographs as I was there
by myself.
Thanks to Joanne Burnside for all her help on the bus also the members
of Ballymacall Flute band
who helped me put away tables etc. at the end
of the evening.
If you would like to see some footage of the bands please visit marching band videos
on youtube or facebook.
Teddy Bears.
In July a second batch of teddy bears will be on their way to a poor
community in Brazil accompanied by Valerie.
Thanks to the South American Missionary Society for making the trip
possible.
Valerie will be staying with Gaynor's mother during the visit which is
also to make preparations
to take a team of bands people out next year.
If any band would like to donate a badge and teddy please contact
Valerie as soon as possible.
