To promote, foster and develop Piping and Drumming to nurture and teach all the Pipe Band arts to the highest degree of competency. I would like to request the annual funding of $2500.00 from the City of Langford. This annual operating fund will be used for uniform replacements/additions, music equipment, and musical supplies. Our band also obtains some additional funds from other performances when requested, which helps with the needed operating supplies.
