Shortly after their move to Lurganure Dart Hut, in 1937, the band made another move to Lurganure School only a few hundred yards up the road.
During the war years of 1939 -1945 the band, like many other organisations, was suspended but re-opened again in approximately 1945. Their first parade was the 12th July 1945 to Derriaghy. In 1946 they moved to the Leslie Memorial LOL 206 Orange Hall, Lurganure Road, Lisburn where they became a part accordian Band and have remained there ever since.
The Band gradually regained it's old members and, with the addition of some new ones, went from strength to strength. Much support was provided by local residents and organisations of Lurganure and surrounding areas of the Maze for which the band were deeply appreciative.
This support was given through numerous fund-raising events which were orgainised by the members of the various Ladies Committees over the years. These events included occasions such as Variety Sales, Bring & Buy Sales, Guest Teas, Concerts etc.
In the early 1950's Victor Quaile took over the chairmanship with the late Samuel Walker as his Vice Chairman. Mr Walker held this post until his retirement in the late 70's due to health reasons.
In 1951 the members felt that a change was needed and the decision was taken to change from accordian to silver. The instigators of this were Matt McMinn, V Quaile, J Walker, E Walker, the late S Walker, N Walker and W Briggs.
This was a big step for the band as it would inevitably require a large amount of money. However, the money was raised after even more fund-raising activities and a lot of hard work from the members. The change though, would not have been possible without the financial assistance of Mr R Jordan and the late Mr F Hall.
