About this fundraiser:

Northwest Junior Pipe Band is a Scottish bagpipe and drum band that provides world-class musical and leadership experience for youth (Ages 8-18) in the Pacific Northwest welcoming all in the pursuit of learning and performing the Celtic musical arts.

The band meets nearly year-round, practicing September through July and takes a break during the month of August. As a competitive band we travel throughout the Pacific NW to Scottish events ranging from British Colombia to Oregon and several events here in Washington. Throughout the year we perform for community events, private engagements as well as public concerts like our Celtic Celebration concert each May. Approximately every 4 years we travel to Glasgow Scotland to compete at the World Pipe Band Championships.

Dozens of young pipers and drummers have come through our Pipe Band School education program - most having no musical experience prior to joining. Pipe Band School gives kids a solid musical foundation that will serve them not only in pipe band, but also in their school band and onward into college. Click for more about Pipe Band School. Many of our alumni players return to help teach, with 4 out of 6 current instructors having come through our program as kids.

As a band family we strive to maintain our reputation of professionalism, positive attitude, gratitude. This is represented in our band values of Excellence, Teamwork & Community.
