Join us as we take part in the various 4th of July parades this coming long holiday weekend.
On July 1st we will be marching in the Pepperell 4th of July parade. The parade starts at Pepperell Town Hall on Main St, proceeds to Groton st then to Tarbell St finally ending at the VFW Post 3291 on Leighton St. The parade starts at 1230pm.
Memorial Day weekend the unofficial start to summer was also our start of a very busy month of June. Our busy season however actually began mid May with the Westford Apple Blossom parade and a fun filled first of two band cookouts. Capping off two weeks of Memorial Day parades/ceremonies, May 21 Lowell Ceremony, May 28th in Westford and May 29th in Winchester MA we began a month of various events.
May 5th the band helped to celebrate the Grand Opening of The Monument Tap in Leominster. We had a great time performing and enjoying a couple of pints too. A great pub do check it out. https://www.facebook.com/themonumenttap/
Westford & District Pipes & Drums
Back in January we announced that we were modifying our working name to reflect our member departments and the geographic area in which we tend to draw members from. We have just completed the changes to the website to reflect those changes. As you can see to better reflect of the service area we draw from we will be doing business as Westford & District Pipes & Drums. Our non-profit corporate name remains Westford Firefighters Pipes & Drums, Inc. Our service to the fallen remains unchanged as that truly is the cornerstone of who we are. Our homage to the Westford Knight and Clans Sinclair and Gunn remains steadfast as can be seen in our official tartan and band logo. The change only reflects that we truly are a regional band and that all are welcome to join and be a part of this proud band.
Due to circumstances beyond our control we are forced to cancel our March 11th Irish night.
Please stay tuned for further announcements as we plan for other events.
Thank you for your continued support…
