*Covid-19 Update*
Due to the ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19), the Band's PipeBand-A-Thon 2020 is postponed to a future date yet to be determined by the band committee. The campaign will remain open in case band supporters wish to donate!
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.
Entirely self funded, the band is fundraising via its annual PipeBand-A-Thon in order 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 video of the Band is action in 2018, winning the European Pipe band Championships in Grade 4A - this is what we do with the money you help us raise:
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's 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.
Last year's event raised over £1900. Please help us beat that amount - we would like to create a new record for this event!!
The main focus of this years Band fundraising, as well as ensuring the bands continued operation, will be raising money to replace the band's ageing stock of uniforms. Wear and tear, as well as the influx of new members, has meant that the bands uniforms are in need of updating and replacing.
Can you help make this happen? We look forward to your support!
