With Ceremonial letter of invitation, to become Cornet for 2012, in hand, the Drums and Fifes Band escorts Halbadier Eck Barclay to the home of the chosen callant. Then, after acceptance, and surrounded by young supporters, and supported by his right and left hand men, the Cornet makes his way around the town to the Town Hall for the first of his ceremonial duties for 2012.
