HIRING THE CORPS
The Maine Public Safety Pipe & Drum Corps will provide our services free of charge for all Public Safety Personnel funerals and memorials (line of duty deaths and non-duty related deaths for active and retired personnel).
We are also available for any other event including parades, graduations, weddings, private parties, and funerals. You may hire the entire band, a single piper, or any combination of pipers and drummers.
A considerable amount of time is spent on fundraising for the Corps and the charitable events we sponsor. Uniforms, instruments and travel expenses are all significant costs and the Corps is dependent on its fundraising activities.
The Corps may charge a small fee to cover expenses for public safety/civic events such as academy graduations, ceremonies, memorials, etc.
All booking and general inquiries are welcome. Please, contact
Events Coordinator Shawn Theberge for more information.
