    It's a band that walks with the Lodges on the 12th July, Black Saturday, The Apprentice Boys March, and also to Church Services, Memorials and Banner Dedications etc.
    
    We play a selection of songs which include a lot of hymns, more hymns that people realise to be honest.

        No singing, unless you count the drunks singing the sash on the way back from the field, we would sing the hokey-cokey though, it's one of our fun pieces we play with a turn in the middle of the marching as well (I can't manage it without stumbling!)

  Some pics of Dunloy Road Band here, they are similar to my road band but uniforms will be different.
