SLOT Pipe Major Alen Tully spoke about the importance of the concert in their preparation for the 2024 season: “The energy within the band is absolutely electric as we eagerly anticipate this upcoming concert. As we planned for the coming season, we recognised the transformative power of a concert to help build our momentum in the most positive way possible. We are excited and committed to get back to our very best.
“The dedication and drive of our entire band have reached new heights this pre-season, surpassing anything we’ve seen in the past two years. There’s a palpable sense of excitement among us, a buzz that has been missing for too long. We feel more prepared than ever to not only deliver an exceptional concert that we can all take pride in but we hope this concert will be the catalyst to help us challenge not just at the top of the grade but to hopefully win some major championships this season.
“We’re optimistic that the concert will be a resounding success, with a sold-out crowd seeing us back at our very best.
Leading Drummer Stephen Creighton added: “Our new bass drummer has settled in incredibly well, given the amount of material he has had to master from scratch in only a few months.
“Our young corps players are now champing at the bit to get out there to perform and compete. They are driven, they are ready to start winning majors, and they are inspired to carry the torches forward from the outgoing players for many years to come.
