The pipe band will provide a chanter for all pipers’ use during band events. Drummers will be provided a drum for use during band events.

    * Furnish a portion of the band uniform for the associate member’s use during band activities (normally a kilt will be provided in the band’s chosen tartan) – This will only be provided after the instructor and Pipe Major agree that the associate member is ready to appear with the band in public.
