Carl Paradis joined the band over 10 years ago. Learning to play the pipes with the band opened many doors. I had the honor of piping in the clans at the Maine Highland games as well as doing a memorial on the oil rigs being constructed in Portland. Is currently the treasurer and is looking forward to a successful 2010 season.

Our Mission

We are a nonprofit organization, dedicated to preservation and enjoyment of Scottish music and tradition. The primary purpose of the Band is to encourage those members of the general public who are interested, especially the youth of the community, to pursue a Scottish musical education without creating financial burden. A secondary purpose is to provide instruments and/or help with uniforms for those members of the Band who would otherwise find participation impossible. We are able to accomplish these goals with the money we earn at performance events, fundraising and through the generous donations we receive from various individuals, businesses and organizations such as the St. Andrews Society of Maine.
