Morningside Youth Pipe Band (MYPB) only started playing together in November last year, but we found them in great form at Boroughmuir High School last Friday, where there was a bake sale to raise funds for them. Band members are aged between 9 and 13 and include pupils attending South Morningside Primary School and Boroughmuir.
The band competed in the inaugural Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships last month, and although they didn’t win they very much enjoyed the experience!
The organisers now want to promote the pipe band with a view to increasing membership to all schools in the Boroughmuir cluster, and The Edinburgh Reporter spoke to Kerry Simpson, one of the mums who is organising the fundraising, to find out more:-
