This was our last engagement before our third visit to the Jersey ‘Battle of Flowers’ in a fortnights time, so we all intended to give it our best at this venue and with seven members missing due to holidays we were initially lacking that extra zest, but not enthusiasm. Possibly the best show in years |

The Musketeers Showband briskly lead the lengthy mass of floats in the sunny but blustery weather, with Callum making his much heralded debut on mace. |

Again the persistent drizzle accompanied the band at the early part of the parade but, as this progressed the rain subsided as the ‘Musketeers’ entered Carrs showground. |

Along the parade the ‘Musketeers’ entertained the brilliant turnout along the route with their own inimitable style of dancing and music to the very responsive crowd. |

The eagerly awaited first engagements of the season for the ‘Musketeers Showband’ was the double header on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May commencing with the traditional ‘Parade of Witnesses’ in Chesterfield town centre. But for the new active 28 united members a nerve racking experience for everyone concerned. |

Plenty of enthusiasm and activity as the season starts. |
