St. Patrick's Band Members c1949 including future Band President Pat O'Sullivan

Pat O'Sullivan, future St. Patrick's Band President, joined as a boy in 1948, kicking off a relationship that has spanned an incredible seventy plus years. He would go on to become one of the bands most influential members and was key in its continued success throughout its history. During his many years as Secretary there was an expansion in band membership; the purchase of brass instruments and music and he would prove instrumental in helping to provide a new purpose-built Bandroom, opened in 1989 following a phenomenal fund raising campaign.
