The CBU Pipe Band was formed in 2014 with a collection of 7 youth. Today it has grown to include 40 members with dedicated weekly practices and ongoing recruitment of new youth and adults interested in learning Highland Bagpipes or Drumming. Our goals are to foster the development of new players in this field and provide musical and cultural enrichment for the youth and adults of Cape Breton. We are planning to compete at the North American Pipe Band Championships in August, 2019, and in future at the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
Our non-profit association is always fundraising and we are extremely grateful for the community support we receive. In addition to supporting our ongoing fundraisers the band does accept donations and because we are affiliated with Cape Breton University, we can offer tax receipts direct through the University or online at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/cape-breton-university/. If opting to donate online please select CBU Pipe Band from the drop down menu to direct the funds to our group and contact us to let us know about your donation. Donations go towards purchasing kilts and instruments that the band requires. If you are interested in donating please contact: Trevor Kellock 902-577-8661 cbupb2014@gmail.com |
