The Maine Public Safety Pipe & Drum Corps is a 501c3, non-profit, all-volunteer, group dedicated to Maine's public
safety community and to promoting Scottish/Irish music, culture, and heritage
through education, outreach,
scholarships and performance. We participate in school programs with the
Maine Ulster-Scots Project, highland games/military tattoos, Tartan Day
celebrations, and funerals/memorial services for both public safety and
military personnel. Equipment and educational costs are
demanding on budgets, therefore, public and private sponsorships are
welcome. The cost of outfitting a piper or drummer is significant. Kilts
cost $450, bagpipes $1200 to $5000, and drums run up to $750. A complete
uniform for a member costs approximately $1500.
The need for public support is great. No government money is received by the Corps. The band relies on performance
fees, merchandise sales, your donations, and grants to continue our growth and educational
pursuits. We hope that you can support us, as we support our public
safety/military personnel and the community.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
The Maine Public Safety Pipe & Drum Corps is seeking corporate sponsors within the business community. By helping the
Corps with services, facilities, or other assistance, the Corps would help the corporate sponsor through a mutually
beneficial publicity program or in other areas that can be discussed. The
Corps performs at over 25 events every year, including parades, highland games/tattoos, and concerts. This exposes the
Corps to thousands of people each year. This does not include the Corps' involvement
at various police and fire departmental functions.
If you or your business would like to make a donation or become a sponsor of
one of the State of Maine's premier pipe bands, please e-mail the Corps
President or mail it to:
