Lisburn Young Defenders Flute Band is comprised mainly of members from the local area, although we also have members from as far afield as Portadown and Ballymena. The band currently play wooden flutes, using E Flat Piccolo, B Flat, F, and Bb bass flutes. "LYD" is primarily a marching band but also takes part in various Indoor Contests. We have been Melody Flute Champions of Ireland, in the years 2000, 2001 and 2003. This achievement is a long way from the musical ability of the band at the time of its formation in 1970. The band was originally formed under the name of "Moira Road Protestant Boys", however, shortly after this, as female members wanted to join, the Protestant Boys part of the title was replaced with "Young Defenders". In May 1971 the band amalgamated with the Sam Anderson Memorial Flute Band and the name was changed once again, this time to "Young Defenders Lisburn Flute Band".
“I am not an Ulsterman but yesterday, the First of July, as I followed their amazing attack, I felt that I would rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world.” Capt. Wilfred Spencer, 2nd July 1916 We will remember them. Well done LYD, as smart and sounding as well as ever! Here’s to a peaceful and enjoyable marching season. Yours, as ever, Ian
See the one with the Kilt and beret and the stick? I'm interested in dating her and maybe eventually marriage with her ... how do I make that possible?
Only flutes and a quarter of a perc line? Also why do they need sheet music, it sounds like the same 4 measures. Mad respect for dealing with the uniforms tho
