April was an exceptionally active month for the Knox Old Boys Pipe Band, with numerous performances and community engagements. The Band's schedule was filled with significant events, reflecting their commitment to both tradition and community service.

Anzac Commemorative Services 

Throughout the month, the Band participated in several Anzac commemorative services. One highlight was their performance at the Redfern RSL, which featured Jake Evans (OKG20) serving as bugler. In the following week, the Band joined forces with the Northern Suburbs Pipe Band to perform at the Rose Bay RSL service, demonstrating their collaborative spirit and commitment to honouring veterans in the wider community. 

Bundanoon is Brigadoon Highland Gathering 

A major event marked on the Band's calendar was the Bundanoon is Brigadoon Highland Gathering in the Southern Highlands. This gathering was a significant occasion for the Old Boys, with fourteen members actively piping and drumming throughout the day. The event also fostered connection with the School band, whose drummers joined the Old Boys for their individual performance, highlighting the intergenerational support within the Knox community. 

Anzac Day Statewide Performances 

On Anzac Day, members of the Old Boys Band were present at multiple locations across New South Wales, showcasing the band's reach and dedication. Performances took place in Wahroonga, Turramurra, Pittwater RSL, RSL Village Narrabeen, Wollombi, The Cotswolds Village at North Turramurra, The Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, Gulgong, and Junee. Additionally, band members joined the Northern Suburbs Pipe Band for the city Anzac March, further exemplifying their active participation in commemorations statewide. 

New members are always welcome! 

The Knox Old Boys Pipe Band helps Old Boys keep playing pipes and drums in a friendly, informal setting. We play for enjoyment, and all Old Boy pipers, drummers and drum majors are encouraged to join. Rehearsals are held on Sunday evenings, 5:00 - 6:30pm, at the School during term time.
