Our events include concerts, special performances, memorials, parades and pipe band competitions. Instruction: 1) As a traditional Scottish bagpipe band, our primary goal is to instruct others on the history, theory, and practice of the Great Highland Bagpipe and Scottish marching drums (snare, tenor, and bass). We do this through small group and private instruction as well as bringing a teaching element to each of our performances. Through instruction of these instruments we are able to not only prolong the life of this art form, but also ensure a more cultural vibrant community. 2) Our primary audience for instruction is youth aged 8-18, and adults aged 19-70, with a desire to learn more about Scottish instruments, culture, or history. While we do not limit who we instruct, most people interested in learning to play Scottish instruments have European ancestry. 0 6367 Performance: 1) Our second major program is performance. Performance provides those we instruct with an opportunity to practice what they are learning while providing a service to their community. Through performance we are able to expand our instruction beyond those who are learning to play instruments to also instruct community members on the history and culture of Scotland. Performance allows us to connect with our community, give back to those who serve our community (law enforcement, fire fighters, and other public officers), and bring joy in times of sorrow. 2) Our audience for our performances is pretty unlimited. Some of our performances allow us to perform for those who would not otherwise seek out bagpipe music, like when we perform with The Piano Guys. Other times we perform for those who are seeking out all types of world music, like at the Salt Lake Living Traditions Festival. When we march in parades, our audience is an entire community, and when we host our own concert, our audience is those who seek out bagpipe music. 0 2228 Competition: 1) Our final major program is competition. Most people who see us perform have no idea that bagpipes are a competitive art form. Our bands compete 2-5 times each year and we encourage our band members to compete as soloists. Although winning competitions does have a financial incentive, as an organization, our goal in competing is to use it as a means for improvement. At each competition we receive a critique from the judges that helps us know how we as a band can improve our musical performances. This pushes us to improve our rehearsal, instruction, performance, and competition. 2) Our audience for this program is limited to the musicians who perform and compete with us. Because of the critique we receive from the judges, each of our musicians benefit individually from our competition 0 78956 87551 Michael Page Board Member 1 0 Stephanie Ivie Board Member 1 0 Dennis Knoles Board Member 1 0 Rob Rowe Board Member 1 0 Alhana Thompson Board Member 1 0 Stephanie Sigman Board Member 1 0 Cody Petrie Board Member 1 0 Mike Postma Executive Chairman, Music Committee Member 6 0 Vivian Dearden Vice Chairman, Uniform and Equipment 5 0 Tyler Johnson General Manager, Music Committee Member 6 0 James Shupe Treasurer 4 0 Terry Miller Executive Secretary 2 0 Mikey Beale Executive Committee Member 2 0 Jeremy Howe Executive Committee Member 2 0 Kariann Owens Executive Committee Member 2 0 Marc Pehkonen Music Committee Chairman 3 0 Ross Morrill Music Committee Member 3 0 Justin Howland Music Committee Member 3 0 Eric Evenhuis Music Committee Member 2 0 Jeremy Rowe Music Committee Member 2 0 Matt Biggs Music Committee Member 3 0 Gregg Niven Music Committee Member 2 0 Brandon Phillips Music Committee Member 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 UT James Shupe PO Box 3121 Ogden UT 84409 8013893347 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 29052 30442 41469 100963 39838 50517 41569 131924 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68890 80959 83038 232887 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 232887 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68890 80959 83038 232887 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Travel Expenses;77839|Insurance;1435|General and Administrative;3464|Equipment and Supplies;6999|Competition Registration;1118^Total;90855^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Unearned Revenue;1276^Total;1276^
