It has been a hectic couple of weeks as we conduct our annual fundraising, which looks a lot like playing for
St. Patrick's Day (week or 2!) celebrations.
Band members are strictly volunteers who never get paid for Band performances.
The Band itself does need funding so that we can carry out our mission to play for events directly related to Police, Fire, EMS, Military and Veterans.
We NEVER charge for those performances. 161 last year including approximately 20 line of duty funerals.

Our thanks go to the following:
Back Streets, Rusty's, Dixie Road House, Fathom's, Oasis, Corksoakers, Overtime Pizza, Big Blue, McGregors, The Encore Women's Club, and The Wicked Dolphin.
