History
The band began in 1974 as Central Florida Pipes and Drums. When Bob Snow opened the Church Street Station entertainment complex in 1980, he offered to sponsor the band and asked it to adopt a name that matched the venue’s theme.
The band took its name from Rosie O’Grady’s, the first showplace to open at Church Street Station. As employees of the complex, its members regularly performed on Saturday evenings and at special functions.

The band practices at 72 E Main Street, Apopka, FL 32703. Contact the band for practice arrangements, membership, or performance bookings.
