You have less than a week to purchase a ticket for this year’s Robbie Burns if you haven’t already. We will be telling the Caterer our final numbers next Monday, so ticket sales close at the time I log into my computer Monday morning.

A slight change in direction
As it appears our parade season was uncharacteristically short, we are now preparing for standing performances.
We will continue to keep “Massed Band” tunes for parades should we be requested, but in the mean time we are shifting focus to rock tunes and dance tunes (Jigs, Hornpipes, Strathspeys, Reals).
Robbie Burns event cancelled for this year!
Unfortunately, we will not be able to hold our event this year.
We will be processing returns to ticket holders over the next few days.

2022 Robbie Burns Kitchen Party
Robbie Burns Kitchen Party Things to Know
I hope you are excited about this year’s Robbie Burns as I am. All of the performers have been practicing their hearts out, and we are ready to go! We will be holding the event in the Maritime Pub and Eatery on Jan 29th 2022.
This is a relaxed semi-formal event. Most of the performers will be in kilts. If you have one, we invite you to wear yours as well. If you don’t, we ask that you dress in business casual, or better.
The performers will start at about 6pm. We will have some solo-ists, some poetry, and the Dance For Life dancers as well as The Airdrie Scots Pipes and Drums.
About 6:30pm we will be piping in the Haggis. It will then be properly addressed.
Dinner this year is being done differently. As we are hosting in a pub, you are free to order off of the menu. Or you can purchase tickets to their Roast Beef or Haggis dinner specials. The door entry fee does NOT include the cost of your dinner!
After dinner, we will have traditional Burns dinner activities – the toast to the Lassies, the reply, etc. After this, we will resume with performances.
At 8pm, the pub’s live entertainment (Low Tide) will start their evening sets.
There will be a silent auction held. We will be able to take cash, cheques, credit and debit.
The Fraser Highland Shoppe will also be on site. They are donating all net proceeds from sales this weekend to the band!
This is a cash bar.
Our event typically lasts 4 hours.
The pub will be handling the ticket sales on your behalf through their Eventbrite event. We will update this page with the link once we have it!
The event is open seating.
We are looking forward to seeing you there, and I hope you will have as much fun as I will!
p.s. We’ve created a mailing list so that you can keep up to date about this event. Subscribe here.
We held our AGM tonight.
Meeting minutes will be posted over the next week or so.
We made the difficult decision tonight to postpone our Robbie Burns dinner and performance until March. This is to allow us to see how Covid continues to play out, as well as give us some additional time to prepare for the evening. That said, we are intending to partner with a local pub to have a “pub night” (maybe afternoon) the weekend after the Bard’s birthday.
We also confirmed that we will continue to practice Sunday afternoons. New members are always welcome.
Are you celebrating the Bard?
This will be the first year since the band formed that we will NOT be holding a Robbie Burns dinner and performance.
Our annual Robbie Burns event is our major fundraiser for the year. Fortunately, we do have a few things that have been donated to us again this year. See our Store for items up for auction.
In addition, if you attended last year’s event you will recall that the Fraser Highland Shoppe was in attendance. They donated the net proceeds from the sales that evening, resulting in us receiving over $500 last year. This year, they will donate the net proceeds from any sales from now through the end of January for anyone who uses our affiliate link https://shop.fraserhighlandshoppe.ca/?raf=ref8600169 when shopping online, or who mentions this post when shopping in person.
And for those of you who wish to virtually attend a Robbie Burns event, there are a few online events occuring.
