Queensferry Community Piping & Drumming

Aim

Help Queensferry Pipes & Drums invest in new drums, develop our musicians and bring more live Scottish music to the communities.

Queensferry Pipes & Drums is a registered Scottish charity bringing traditional pipe band music to South Queensferry and the surrounding communities.

Our band brings together pipers and drummers of different ages and backgrounds to learn, develop and perform traditional Scottish music. We play at community events, gala days, public performances and other local occasions, as well as developing our musicians through regular practice and performance.

Following a successful period of development for the band, we now want to invest in the next stage of our music programme.

A key part of this project is upgrading our drum corps equipment. Good-quality pipe band drums are specialist musical instruments and are central to producing the sound, tone and musical expression required from a modern pipe band. Our current equipment limits how far we can develop the sound of the corps and the experience we can provide for our players.

The money raised through this Crowdfunder will help us purchase new drums and associated equipment and use them as part of a wider programme of musical development.

This will allow us to:

• Improve the quality and consistency of our pipe band sound;
• Give our drummers better equipment to learn and develop on;
• Support coaching, practice and musical development within the drum corps;
• Provide better opportunities for existing and future members;
• Perform high-quality Scottish music at more community events and public performances;
• Help preserve and promote the tradition of piping and drumming for future generations.

This project is about more than replacing equipment. It is about giving musicians the tools they need to progress, strengthening the band as a community music organisation and creating more opportunities for people to experience live Scottish pipe band music.

Queensferry Pipes & Drums is run by volunteers, and the support of our community, friends, families, local businesses and supporters is central to everything we do.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us move towards our goal.

With your support, we can invest in our musicians, improve the quality of the music we produce and continue representing Queensferry through traditional Scottish music for years to come.

Thank you for supporting Queensferry Pipes & Drums.
