Around the early 1950's, at Christmas, the Band visited numerous homes in the locality to entertain them by playing carols. In so doing, money was raised which went to-wards presents for the children at Lissue Children's Hospital, Ballinderry Road, Lisburn. This was an event which started at Bradbury's Corner and continued, by foot, to Cockhill Corner. It took place for a number of years until road and traffic conditions endangered the safety of members. However, at Christmas 1985 the old tradition of Carol playing was revived when the Band Visited Lisburn Town Centre one evening to entertain shoppers.
For the past 26 years the band have visited the staff and children of Lissue Children's Hospital, where a concert is presented with the help of various local artists.
Other local events which have taken place over the years are Praise Services in St. Paul's Church, Lisburn, St Hilda's Church, Seymour Hill, and St Matthew's, Broomhedge.
An annual event which has taken place for the past 12 years is the band's yearly visit to the Moravian Garden Fete, Hillsborough in June. Other Garden Fetes are also visited by the band when requested.
It is well known that the band had an exclusively male membership, but in 1978 ladies were finally admitted after much discussion and deliberation among their male counterparts.
Norman Walker carried out his duties as conductor right up to his death in 1984. His successor was Mr. Stanley Murphy who has been a member of the band for almost 40 years and is proving to be an equally loyal conductor.
