The first performance for the Combined Band of Dutch Pipes and Drums from Tilburg is over. During the annual veterans parade in Wageningen on May 5th was the official start for this addition to the existing bagpipe corps. This year the parade was organized by the 'National Memorial Committee Capitulations 1945 Wageningen’ and  entirely devoted to 65 years of liberation. Defence has indicated that this is the last veterans parade in Wageningen in which defense will cooperate themselves. The whole band has left immediately after the performance and headed for Eindhoven Airport from where they departed to join the Norsk militær Tattoo. It is the second time the band takes part in this great Military Tattoo. After the great success stories in 2008 the take part again but now with its own orchestra. Below are some photos from the performance in Wageningen on May 5th, 2010.

On the 23 th of March, Tilburg was treated to a very nice Article in the Brabants  Newspaper.
