The band took part in its
first parade on May 6, 1953
and this was down the main
street of Brussels. They held
their first tattoo in August,
1953 in Victoria Park with
seven bands participating.
Eventually, membership in
the band became open to
non-members and the band
has grown to its present
membership of 22.
The motto of the band is to
entertain the _public and to
enjoy themselves while doing
so.
