Schedule of Events
Want to know where to come and see Celtic United?
Keep an eye on our upcoming band schedule
Consider hiring a single piper, a few pipes and drums, or the full band for your next occasion. A few pipes and drums are ideal for indoor concerts, or for small outdoor functions such as family or class reunions, company picnics, or anniversary or birthday parties.
The stirring display of the entire band in full dress uniform is excellent for parades, sporting events, opening ceremonies, class or family reunions, and concerts in a large indoor or an outdoor setting.
For band rates or to book an event, please contact the Band Manager.
A single piper enhances many occasions:
- Weddings: Make the wedding more memorable by piping the bride to the altar, the newly-weds from the altar, and later piping the bridal party into the reception.
- Graduations and Convocations: Add splendor to the day by piping in celebrated students as they share their excitement and success, and prepare to embark on a new journey.
- Funerals: The solemnity of the occasion is underscored by the playing of a traditional lament, while paying an unforgettable tribute.
Individual rates are dependent upon the distance traveled and the time involved. Individual rates are set by the piper prior to playing at a private function. Please contact the Band Manager who will pass the request on to the pipers.
