10/03/2024
Pipe band competition at the William McIlvanney Campus in Kilmarnock. Bus provided for both novice and juvenile bands.
Transport
- The coach is booked to leave PL at 0745 so we need everyone there for 0730 to load up.
- Coach will be in the school car park opposite Middleshot Square
- We are assuming all pupils are travelling on the coach with us
- We anticipate returning to PL between 1930 and 2000. We will update on the WhatsApp group
- There is no toilet on the bus
What to bring
- Travel in uniform and make sure your uniform is neat and tidy – shirts and kilts ironed and shoes polished – Remember your glengarry. Capes not required.
- You can bring a change of clothes if you wish to change after you’ve played. I don’t want people wandering about in uniform wearing crocs or other non-uniform items. It’s not a good look. You should either be in full uniform or not.
- Instruments etc – everything you need to play.
- Packed lunch – there will be a canteen but it’s a long day so could turn out to be expensive
- Water bottles
- Earplugs
Playing times
- For parents coming to spectate the Novice band plays at 1108 and the Juvenile Band at 1154.

- Do not leave the school building at any time
- Please ensure your child has our numbers saved on their phone
