Band Practice

Chanter and Pad practice this night- remember to keep working on those competition sets.

For the future - unless you hear directly from the Pipe Major or other executive, band practice is always on. Sorry to people who received the wrong message last night.

Take a look at your calendars regarding the Millet parade on August 28th. We'll make a decision next week.

The Highland Games society is continuing to look for a piping and drumming coordinator - we don't want this event to fall by the wayside like other highland games have. If anyone is able to help let me know.
