Mission

The mission of the Madison Pipes and Drums is:

To educate through programs that promote Celtic music and heritage
To serve and support the community through charitable events
and other functions
To encourage fellowship and leadership while developing
musical talent and excellence

Our mission statement is what we believe in. We plan our activities according to our mission. To support our mission, we:

Talk about the bagpipe and its music in our public performances
Encourage band members to attend schools of piping and drumming
Perform free of charge at some public events, such as firemens' memorials
and the Madison Farmers' Market
Schedule get-togethers outside of band practice
Delegate responsibility for different areas
Work hard at band rehearsal
Compete at highland games as a band and as individuals

Someday we hope to expand even further by offering scholarships, supporting the UW-Madison Program of Celtic Studies, and sponsoring competitions. Want to help? Ideas on how to further our aims? Contact us about our mission.
