Corporate Sponsor Chairperson(s) – The band relies on donations to pay for the band assistant, the additional instructors who train the bagpipe players, color guards and drummers, and the numerous items needed to keep the band thriving. Fundraisers generate much of the needed funds, but if you are good at obtaining a corporate sponsor for the band, please let us know!
