Innerleithen Pipe Band, based in Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders, offers opportunities for children, young people, and adults to come together and play bagpipes and drums in pipe band competition and other events such as local festivals.
One pipe chanter reed costs £15.00, one pair of drumsticks costs £15.00, the average cost of a coach hire to competitions is £825.00 – these and many other costs just like them make up the running costs of Innerleithen Pipe Band. Last year the Band spent just over £31,000.00 in keeping itself going.
Entirely self-funded, the band is fundraising via its annual PipeBand-A-Thon to support its work by providing musical instruments, uniforms and tuition as well as covering all the running costs of a functioning pipe band. Here is a selection of photos showing the Band in action last year when we were highly successful on the competition circuit, winning the Scottish Championships in Grade 4A, winning Champion of Champions titles for both Band and Drum Corps and being promote to Grade 3B for 2025:
One of the major fundraising events of the year, band members will play their instruments in relay non-stop for 12 hours, from 8.00am to 8.00pm, in the Band Hall, Innerleithen.
It is a terrific challenge for the band but one we are well capable of meeting. A great musical event and fundraiser, the band uses the event as practice for the forthcoming pipe band season as well as an opportunity to raise much needed funds.
Please help us raise some much-needed funds for the Band. We would like to create a new record amount for this event!! Can you help make this happen? We look forward to your support!
