Have you bought your ticket yet?! For what you ask?! The College of Piping Pipe Bands are holding a fundraising concert this Saturday (April 21st) at the New London Community Complex. This a not to be missed event! Not only will our pipe bands showcase their talents but they will also be joined by Kendall Docherty and Friends and Ward MacDonald. Not only will there be fantastic music but there will be a silent and live auction, a cake auction, a quilt raffle and more! Who doesn't like cake?! Rumour has it that one of our very own Grade 5 pipe band parents is a professional cake decorator! The concert will start with a bang with the Grade 5 band taking the stage at 7pm. Tickets are $12.00 and are available at the College of Piping. For more information, please contact the College at 1-877-224-7473.
