The Start of Something Good
Here we are back in September. This past season the band was essentially inactive after May, although as pointed out in a previous post, the band has nevertheless been able to make an impact on local events.

Coming back into September, CRPB band members [and those who watch from near and far] are no doubt wondering what is "up" for the coming year. Essentially, it's up to you. Do you want a senior-level pipe band in Saskatchewan? Do you want to contribute? Can you commit? A casual observer of the pipe band scene will understand that this is the time of year for many bands when all bets are off, and that has been true for the CRPB since about last January. The power to change that lies with those of you who can play.

The band needs a lead drummer, and we need drummers in general, but we also need more committed pipers and mid-section players, and a few committee members would be cool too.

We also need a sponsor.

So, the list of needs is big, but no bigger than it was in 1992. In fact, it is considerably smaller. We have uniforms, new instruments, experienced and committed players, a junior band system, and a little money in the bank. What are you waiting for? Email us, and let's make something happen here. Band starts the second Sunday in October.
