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 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, in the qualifying heat of the World Pipe band Championships in Grade 4A - this is what we do with the money you help us raise, something we haven't been able to do in 2 years:

One of the major fundraising events of the year, this is also one of the first events post-Covid-19 lockdown easing where the Band and band members can play live! 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 nothing because it fell victim to Covid-19, and our entire fundraising programme in 2020 was decimated by Covid-19 restrictions. Please help us raise some much need funds for the Band. We would like to create a new record amount for this event!!

The 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 need updating and replacing.

Can you help make this happen? We look forward to your support!
