Welcome To Our Contract Inquiry Page
 Welcome
to the contract inquiry page of the Knights of Columbus 126 Pipes and
Drums. The entire band as well as individual band members are available
for hire to play at weddings, funerals, anniversaries, and other
celebrations. Pipers in highland garb are traditional enhancements to
weddings, where they often play during the bride's march down the
aisle, while people are exiting the ceremony, outside the church after
the ceremony, or at the reception.
At the passing of those of Scottish
or Irish descent, pipers may play at the funeral to remind the
rest of us of the importance of heritage to the person who has gone on.
And pipes always provide a unique and lively entertainment at any sort
of celebration, from birthdays to anniversaries to family reunions and
miscellaneous events such as golf outings and welcome home parties.
To inquire whether one or more pipers are
available for your event, please submit the following information:
We will confirm that we have received your
message and get back to you as soon as we determine who is available to
play at the event. When supplying the start time, please remember to
allow for at least 15 minutes for tuning before the performance for a
solo piper, and 30 minutes for a group of musicians.
If you are inquiring for a funeral or other
event in the immediate future, please also be sure to contact Tom
Donovan at bandmanager@kofc126pipesanddrums.com.
The rate to hire a piper or drummer is
$??/hour with a $??? minimum, plus $1 per mile one-way for events
outside New York. The entire band is available for hire at a flat rate.
For certain sorts of strictly public events a piper or the band may be
available to play pro bono (contact us).
If you are trying to set a date and time for
an event for which you want a piper, please consult our performance calendar to
identify times for which one will be available.
