A jump-start program for aspiring pipers will run from July 15 to 19 and Aug. 19 to 23.
The program is intended to give youth, ages eight to 18, the opportunity to learn about the great Highland bagpipe.
“The Arran Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band just completed a successful year of parades and competitions and is looking to a future of growth,” said Reg Scott, director of instruction with the band.
The band recently performed at Lumby Days, the Sunshine Festival and Wings and Wheels. It will play at the Canada Day celebrations in Armstrong and Vernon Monday.
The jump-start program will run from 9 to 11 a.m.
For more information or registration for the program, call Scott at 250-545-4280.
