Kind Words
“I want to thank you guys for the amazing job you did in last weeks funeral service. I heard from one gentleman that he somehow held it together when John’s son (Ryker) spoke, but sobbed when hearing Amazing Grace. You are not only an essential part in honoring those we say “see you later” to, but you are an essential part of the grieving process. Well Done!!”
“Thank you guys so very much Bend Fire Pipes and Drums, for honoring my step grandpa, Melvin Kilpatrick today. It was so very much appreciated.”
“Huge thank you for joining us and helping make our wedding day perfect!”
“These guys put happy dancing smiles on to whoever was lucky enough to hear them play!!”
“Amazing. Love you guys!”
Honor the Moment
From memorial services to weddings, parades and fundraisers, we’d be honored to play for your event.
Keep the Pipes Playing
Your gift helps Bend Fire Pipes & Drums honor the fallen and celebrate with our community across Central Oregon.
