The sons of scotland in 2025
In our 129th year, the band is very happy to have as returning members of the Band Executive Donald MacDonald as our Band Manager, Nicholas Olmstead as our Treasurer and Secretary, and Bethany Bisaillion as Pipe Major. Our Lead Drummer Dave Nuttall continues to grow the snare drum line, and Wendy Chaytor's Tenor Squad is both impressive and talented!
Here's to another terrific year and great performance opportunities.

upcoming travel opportunities
and how you can help and join us
The Sons enjoy travel to different places every year. In addition to our annual Scotland trip in August, we get opportunities to go to other cities and countries. We welcome guest players, highland dancers, and guests to join us when we have the space, and if you are interested in joining us, please email PM Bethany Bisaillion at [email protected] to see if there's a chance for you to come along. As of October 15, we have 23 pipers and 10 drummers signed up to play, along with 2 dance schools and guest dancers. Along with our guests and more players to come, this will be a great trip - and we'll have more updates on the itinerary as they come in.
Our PM has expanded her tshirt line on her site Anarkilt and all the proceeds from the sale of the shirts goes into a Celtic arts fund set up to help anyone, anywhere with much-needed money for the things they need, which may include equipment, event support, travel funds, and more - with a very simple request, much can be given.
You can email our treasurer, Nick Olmstead, at [email protected] for information on how to give, and where the money goes.
Get in touch anytime and see how you can donate, and help others at the same time.
Our music, our people, and our community - always giving, and always deserving.
