RESPONSIBILITIES
Kingston Scottish Festival - Sponsored
by O.P.G. (formerly known as Kingston
OPG Celtfest)
The Branch Executive is elected every spring and serves the branch
members by organizing Branch events and workshops. Throughout
the late fall and winter months, “Knock-out” competitions are held to
keep players sharp as well as boost participation in piping and
drumming in the Eastern Ontario area. Occasionally, workshops with
guest instructors, as well as other non-competitive events can be held
throughout the year.
During the competition season, the executive organizes and/or
assists with in-door and outdoor games. Other responsibilities include
the newsletter, and website although these tasks are sometimes
performed by volunteers. If you have ideas or feedback, the executive
is there to listen. If you would like to help out by volunteering, let the
executive know as they are always happy for the assistance.
