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)
and for active duty military personnel killed in action.
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.
Uniforms, instruments, operating costs, and travel expenses are all significant costs and the Corps is dependent on its
performance fees to cover these expenses. Therefore, 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.
The following list is not all-inclusive and prices may vary depending on
location and other factors, but may be used as a guideline for events:
