This time of the year, we would be in full swing of our twice weekly rehearsals, in preparation of putting the finishing touches to our pieces for the NIBandsAssociation contest, on what would have been Saturday 17th October 2020 in the market place theatre.
We are Really missing the days like these when music, anticipation and excitement lined the walls of the Bandroom of the Bohemian Centre.
But Covid had another idea of how this year should be planned. We are apart now so we can be together again hopefully soon. So please everyone stay home, wash your hands, wear your mask right and please don’t party, keep contacts to a min. And maybe we can get back to rehearsal soon and prep for these kind of competition times again ??????

Band Is Back
What an absolutely great week. we have been so grateful all week to have the music flowing in the hall of the Bohemian Centre again. If lock down has told us anything is to appreciate everything and everyone in our lives. We are a very close community band & everyone feels like family. It was so good to see everyone again even if it was only the people in our sections after an abrupt end back in March. But in Ardee we most definitly have the music back in our lives. 
Wood Wind Rehearsals Wednesdays @ 8pm
Brass Rehearsals Fridays @ 8pm
