Dear Finance and Administration Committee,
I am submitting this application for funding on behalf of the City of Langford Pipe Band (aka, Castle Cary Pipes and Drums). http://www.castlecarypipesanddrums.ca/index.html
Our pipe band was formed in 1988 and has been providing services for the City of Langford for over 10 years. Our band participates every year in the Remembrance Day and Vimy Memorial ceremonies held at Veterans Memorial Park. We have also participated in some of the City Council engagements when possible.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to operating and maintaining a Scottish Pipe Band. 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.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
Thank you,
Rob Miller
Pipe Major
