The Westford & District Pipes and Drums will be marching in the Westford Apple Blossom Parade on May 13th, the Westford Memoral Day Parade on 28th, and the Winchester Memorial Day Parade on the 29th. Please join us for these upcoming events. We are looking for pipers and drummers to join the band, no experience needed. Come talk to us at one of these events.
With Covid subsiding the band is finally getting back to a more normal routine. This past Sunday we had the pleasure of marching with our friends from the Worcester Police Pipe Band. Check out this clip https://www.wcvb.com/article/2022-worcester-st-patrick-s-parade-march-13/39420989
This Veteran’s Day marks a full return of events for the band. Over the past year we have slowly returned to performing for various events. Memorial Day 2021 saw an abbreviated parade in Winchester. Fourth of July we had the honor to kick off the Raymond NH parade. Labor Day we were welcomed back in the Milford NH Labor Day parade and in October we were once again back at Austin Prep for their convocation. We look forward to finishing out November with leading the procession of the Blue Mass again at Austin Prep. We look forward to a busier 2022.
Westford & District Pipes and Drums were honored to take part in numerous Memorial Day ceremonies this past week. Starting with the Lowell Cemetery parade last Sunday and at Page Hilltop Elementary School Friday May 24th, Westford parade May 26th and finished today in Winchester. We remember all of those who gave their all.
