NWJPB is always looking for support from our
communities. We reached significant fundraising goals with
your help in 2008, sending 30 band members to Scotland for two
weeks and cutting the cost of the trip almost in half.
The costs of pipe band are significant. Each new
member that joins means around $1000 in uniform costs, we supply
snare, tenor, and bass drums, as well as dozens of bagpipe
reeds, drum heads and other maintenance items. Combine
these costs with basic needs like shelter at outdoor events,
transportation, competition fees, and instruction costs, and the
full needs of each member approaches $2000 per year in just the
cost that the band covers.
If you would like to help
us build experiences and skills our youth take with them
always, you
can donate now using a credit card,
purchase merchandise, or
sponsor the band at various levels. Contact
