Your special event is always more memorable having your head table piped in. A thrill will come upon your guests as they are piped into the banquet hall. If it is a wedding, special dinner, an awards night, a bonspiel, a birthday party, anniversary or conference, the pipes will begin your event in grand style.
For a single piper or Drummer: The fee is completely based on the individual players rate. It is generally established based on the amount of time required to play and the distance required to travel to the event destination. General services of a single piper include weddings, funerals, anniversaries, and the leading of dignitaries to head tables. The rate generally starts anywhere from $50 and up. If you would like a combination of a piper and drummer, or more than one piper, the fee would apply for each individual player.
For a mini band that generally consists of approx. 4 pipers, 2 drummers, and a base, the fee would start at $200. This fee once again depends on the amount of time to play, and the distance traveled to the event destination. Examples of a requirements for a band this size would be indoor stage shows.
For a Full size Band the fee is $500 and up for parades and shows. All fees are negotiable based on the number of players available, the size of the parade or show, and the amount of travel required to reach the events destination.
In keeping with the bands 50 years of commitment to the community, we do engage in a limited amount of free engagements and shows that are associated with senior citizens facilities, and with non-profit organizations that are heavily involved with the community.
All engagements are only booked and accepted based on whether your scheduled date is not conflicting with another engagement, and most importantly if there are players available. Remember that the rates listed here are a guide only.
