The Band rendezvous was at Clevedon Pier. We tuned up on the pier under the supervision of Sandy Kemlo before setting off to Scotland the Brave. The march route was along the seafront and Elton Road to the Salthouse Field. Upon our arrival at the Flower Show Ground we executed a short formal performance and followed this an hour later with a full show in the arena including the Amazing Grace set which was well received.
