I am lead snare drummer in the band, longest standing band member (7 years ). I have learnt all kinds of new skills whilst with the band and hope to keep on learning until i leave school. Competed in many competitions for the band but visiting New York and taking part in the tartan week would be a whole new experience for me and the other band members. Would like to thank everyone for donating and hope many others are still to donate, Thank You!

I am a piper in the Sgoil Lionacleit pipe band and have been for a couple of years. The band has a strong community spirit, it's basically just a big family where we all work hard to help one another and to improve the standard of playing, which sometimes means playing for hours on end. This opportunity for us to travel to Tartan week NYC has given the band a real boost and will give us the opportunity to share our talents with a wider range of people. It will prove to us that anything is possible, if we work hard and pull together. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us on the road to New York, we truly appreciate your generosity.

Wonderful for the members of the pipe band to experience an international event. Great that a small island pipe band is being given the opportunity, thanks to the hard work of the committee members and island community supporting all the fundraising events. Enjoy , have lots of fun and treasure every moment especially marching down 6th Avenue in the Tartan Parade.

I have been apart of Sgoil Lionacleit Pipe Band for about 5 years now and it has been a huge learning opportunity for me! I have gained skills in working with others and contributing to a larger group. We all have a great group dynamic and would love to experience performing in the 'big apple'. It seemed like an unreachable goal in the beginning, but with your help we hope to make this trip happen! Thanks to everyone for their kind support, we could not do it without you!!

Our successes over the last year have highlighted our small island school in the Outer Hebrides and put us on the map. So, we have a dream of going to NYC and with your help we can get there and take part in the 20th Anniversary Tartan Week Parade. AMAZING! Please donate and Thank you!
