In mid 1904 the Band Club was invited to perform in [[Palermo]] and [[Messina]], two of the largest cities in [[Sicily]]. This trip was highly covered in local media. The band ''Duke of Edinburgh'', along with a number of admirers left the island on 21st July and arrived in Palermo the following morning. The Palermo Municipal Band was awaiting them on the quay. The Band started playing the Italian national anthem from the ship’s deck, and the Sicilians reciprocated with the ''God Save''.
F’nofs l-1904, l-banda kienet ġiet mistiedna biex tagħmel programmi f’[[Messina]] u [[Palermo]], tnejn mill-akbar bliet ta’ Sqallija.

After disembarking, the two bands started playing festive marches on their way to Count Roger’s burial place, amongst applause from the crowd that had gathered. They were welcomed by Mons. Mazzola on their arrival at the Cathedral. From there, the band was invited to the ''Palazzo Municipale'' where it was welcomed by the Pro Sindaco. The following day, the ''Duke of Edinburgh'', under Band Director [[Gaetano Grech]], performed at ''Teatro Biondo''. During the interval, after an address from Prof. Enrico Scala, a banner with the crest of Palermo was presented to the society with the inscription in golden thread:


'''Impresa del Teatro Biondo e Cavalier Pierantoni alla Filarmonica Duke of Edinburgh – Luglio 1904'''
Il-Bandalora mogħtija lill-Banda f'Palermo


The following day, the band performed in ''Piazza Foro Umberto''. At the end of this performance the band left for Messina. They were welcomed by the Municipal Band, which accompanied them to the famous Duomo for mass. On their last day in Sicily, it performed again for another hour and a half until it was time to board. The programme ended to huge applause and shouts of '''Viva l-Maltin!''' from the crowd that had gathered. The band and its admirers left Sicily highly satisfied they they were worthy ambassadors to high standards the Maltese band clubs and the high level that it was reached in musical arts.

F’nofs l-1904, l-banda kienet ġiet mistiedna biex tagħmel programmi f’Messina u Palermo, tnejn mill-akbar bliet ta’ Sqallija. Din il-mawra tal-Banda f’dawn iż-żewġt ibliet importanti ngħatat prominenza ġmielha fl-istampa lokali. Il-Banda Duke of Edinburgh, flimkien ma’ għadd t’ ammiraturi, ħalliet Malta fil-21 ta’ Lulju u waslu Palermo l-għada. Fuq il-moll sabu tistenniehom il-Banda Muniċipali ta’ Palermo.

Il-Bandalora mogħtija lill-Banda f'Palermo

Wara l-iżbark, iż-żewġ baned immarċjaw idoqqu marċi brijjużi flimkien għal fejn jinstab midfun il-Konti Ruġġieru, fost iċ-ċapċip tal-folla li nġabret. Mal-wasla fil-katidral, intlaqgħu minn Mons. Mazzola. Mill-knisja, il-Banda Vittoriosana kienet mistiedna fil-Palazz Muniċipali, fejn ingħatat merħba mill-Pro Sindaco. L-għada, il-Banda Duke of Edinburgh, taħt id-direzzjoni tas-surmast tagħha Gaetano Grech, għamlet programm fit-Teatro Biondo. Waqt l-intervall, wara indirizz mill-Professur Enrico Scala ġiet ippreżentata lill-Banda bandalora bl-istemma ta’ Palermo b’iskrizzjoni b’ħajt tad-deheb:

Impresa del Teatro Biondo e Cavalier Pierantoni alla Filarmonica Duke of Edinburgh – Luglio 1904 L-għada, il-Banda daqqet programm ieħor, din id-darba, fi Piazza Foro Umberto. Ma’ tmiem il-programm, il-kontinġent irħielha lejn Messina. Hemmhekk sabu tilqagħhom il-Banda tal-Muniċipju, li wasslithom sad-Duomo famuż ta’ dik il-belt biex jattendu għaċ-ċelebrazzjoni ta’ quddiesa. Fl-aħħar jum tal-kontinġent Vittoriosan fi Sqallija, il-Banda għamlet programm ta’ siegħa u nofs, sa ma wasal ħin l-imbark. Programm li ntemm b’applawsi kbar u l-għajjat ta’ “Viva l-Maltin” mill-folla kbira li nġabret madwarhom.
