- In 1920, as a result of a leadership disagreement in the Cobourg Citizens Band, an offshoot band was formed, The Cobourg Concert Band. A year later the disagreement was resolved and the two bands reunited under the name The Concert Band of Cobourg (Kilties), adopting the highland dress for its uniform. The Cobourg Concert Band (Kilties), eventually better known as the Cobourg Kiltie Band, was an important cultural part of Cobourg’s heritage for many years but disbanded in the 1960s due to lack of interest. In 1970 the band was reestablished under Mr. Roland White and eventually renamed the Concert Band of Cobourg. The kilts were soon discarded in favour of the present day military uniforms.
