Scots draw Germany in next round

29-Jun-2010
The Scots of Newtongrange will be heading for a fixture in Germany on the weekend - faster, higher and stronger to impress the opposition too.

Newtongrange Silver Band will be travelling to northwest Germany this week to renew its 31 year friendship with Musikcorps Würm eV and take part in the famous Würm eV Summer Fair.

Over the years there have been numerous successful exchanges and it is anticipated that this will be another enjoyable joining together of the two bands.
