Eleven bands from across the county took part in this year\u2019s event, marking the official start of the competitive season for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Stepping off at 3:30 PM, the parade followed its traditional route through the town centre, with crowds lining Main Street to catch a glimpse of the colourful performances and precision marching. Judging took place across a range of categories, with both competitive and non-competitive entries on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Maghery Band Take Top Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Leading the results was the Maghery Senior Competitive Band, who delivered an outstanding performance that earned them a sweep of top awards. The band took home Best Band on Parade, Best Drum Major, Best Drum Corps, Best Music, and Best Senior Fife and Drum. Their non-competing unit also received the title of Best Non-Competing Band, further highlighting the strength and consistency within the Maghery ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1580-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1580-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1580-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Maghery Senior Compeitive Band Winning Drum Major &#8211; Credit Mary Rodgers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The win adds to their growing list of accolades, as the band continues a dominant run on the national stage, including eight consecutive All-Ireland Senior Flute titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Strong Performances from Across the County<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">St. Catherine\u2019s Band from Killybegs, who celebrated their first All-Ireland title in 2024, claimed Best Majorettes \u2014 another milestone for the growing group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1585-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">St Catherine\u2019s Killybegs &#8211; Credit Mary Rodgers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Local pride was also strong, with Dungloe Junior Band awarded Best Novice Band, while Cloughaneely Junior Band \u2014 the reigning All-Ireland champions in their category \u2014 were named Best Miscellaneous\/Accordion Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1583-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cloughaneely Junior Band &#8211; Credit Mary Rodgers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/marchingbandsireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_1584-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dungloe Band &#8211; Credit Mary Rodgers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>A Strong Start to the Season<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The Dungloe Easter Parade remains one of Ireland\u2019s most respected local showcases for marching bands, previously holding the record for the largest parade of its kind in the country.
