As you may already know, the Band celebrated it's Centenary in 2002. This song, kindly written by Philip Williamson and wife Elaine, has been adopted as the Centenary Song of Dungannon Silver Band. The words are sang to the tune of Killaloe, a very popular march with the band, (click here to listen).
Oh Happy Birthday to Dungannon Silver Band,

A hundred years of playing thru' the land.

Miles and miles we've marched and we've kept playing on,

So Happy Birthday to Dungannon Silver Band.

 

Here the town tin come we hear the people say,

Colonel Bogey, Round the Town we play.

Proudly we march on in our navy and our plum,

With our instruments a gleaming in the sun.

 

So let's hear it for the boys,

And let's hear it for the girls,

Who have come and played so well,

In our great wee silver band.

We all love our band,

Yes, Dungannon Silver Band,

So give three cheers for one hundred years,

HOY!! HOY!! HOY!!

And we'll keep playing on. (repeat last verse)
