Purpose of Grant
To contribute to the replacement of 30 waistcoat and jacket sets to replace worn out uniform and establish uniformity of dress for new members joining the band.
Progress
The band were measured in March 2019 and the waistcoats and jackets delivered in May 2019 in time to celebrate the town’s summer festival (Reiver’s Week). The picture below shows the band in 2018 with new members not fully dressed and mismatched with the remainder of the band.
Summary
With the grant funding from SBC, we have been able to kit out all members of the band with new waistcoats and jackets.
On behalf of all members of the band, I would like to thank the Committee for considering our application and awarding the grant. As I hope you can see from the pictures below, we now have a very smart and uniformed band.
Yours faithfully
Julia Turner
Secretary
Duns Pipe Band
