Here we go, entering our 14th year!
This year we start on a very high note. We are so please to let you know that our City Council have presented us with a $5,000 Grant to help us complete our uniforms. We were able to purchase many items to replace missing and worn out items, upgrade our sporrans and purchase new Winter jackets that we will possibly debut at our Remembrance Day Event in Lake Country on November 11.
Our Band starts the year with 4 Snare drummers, 4 Tenors, 2 Bass drummers and 13 Pipers, 2 of whom will be issued uniforms and likely be coming out for the first time at the Winter Carnival Parade.
There are 11 women and 12 men, 14 “mature” adults (mostly seniors) with 9 younger ones, including as young as a 15 year old.
We are a very diverse group and open to anyone who just wants to come and play this wonderful music with us. We have several people who can teach you how to play any of the instruments in the band, so if you have an interest, we can get you going!
Our schedule this year is mostly just engagements here in the Okanagan, but we are looking for opportunities outside this area for an adventure to give us a goal for the year. If you know of an event, not too far away, that would benefit by having us come out, please contact us through this site and hopefully we can work something out.
Thank you.
Pipe Major Don MacLeod
