Mardi Gras Parade
Hyde Park to Moore Park
27 Feb. 2010
The parade theme this year was 'History of the World' and we dressed up in our pirate best and pirated with our instruments throughout the night. Our truck was decorated to be a pirate ship, with a sparkling and colourful seahorse at the bow to lead us down the parade route. We played 'Music from Pirates of the Caribbean', 'In the Navy' and 'Under the Sea' in true pirate-musician fanfare. The parade was a great success, and much pirate fun was had by all pirates. Arrr!!!

Fair day was a relaxing day. We engaged audiences for two performances, and the crowd were bopping along to our songs. It was an unusually bright, sunny day!
We welcome new members to join us. The band is open for anyone to join regardless of sexual orientation - provided you can play a wind or percussion instrument. For more information on joining our band check out the 'rehearsals' and 'about us' FAQ's pages of our website.
