Make a donation to the band

Generally, our band aims to be self-sufficient. Through competition prize-money, parade and corporate events, community support (practice locations) and grants, our band has continued to operate successfully through the years as a registered not-for-profit organization.
Our band members donate their time to practice, as well as their talent and experience to teaching new players who are interested in getting involved. Apart from the enjoyment and pleasure we derive from making music, no members in the band receive a wage.
We are very fortunate that many items can be used over and again with new members, such as uniforms (a new kilt and sporran is close to $1000 each), drone cords and bag covers, the actual drums themselves, and the beautiful matched set of band chanters that we have. Unfortunately, we do need to replace them occasionally - tassels fall off the cords, bags fade and tear, and drum heads need replacing after being hit too many times - and these incur some of the band's yearly expenses.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in donating to help keep the band running, please reach out to us. Any amount helps to keep us on the road and bringing the joys of Celtic music to a whole new generation of players AND listeners!
We would like to give special thanks to the Elora Legion for the donation of their space for our weekly practices. We deeply appreciate them giving us a home to practice and grow as a band.
The band would also like to give thanks to the many community events that have included Grand Celtic. Your support and investment helps keep us moving towards our competition goals and we are so grateful for the chance to perform for our community.
Thank you to our friends in the community!
