Recently the Peel Regional Police Pipe Band presented it’s 2011 PRPPB Awards. Pictured above receiving the Band Member of the Year award is Alec Patterson. Alec has shown great comittment and dedication to the band in the short time he has been a member. Looking after our drone sound along with providing assistance setting pipes for some of the younger members, Alec has become an invaluable assett to the PRPPB.

Sharing the Piper of the Year Award for 2011 are Calum Harper (left) and Tyler Harris (centre), shown here receiving the award from Pipe Sgt. Jake Watson. Both Calum nd Tyler have excelled in their first year with the band. Regular attendance combined with dedication and committment allowed these young pipers to earn a place in the circle in 2011.

Drummer of the Year honours went to tenor drummer Lauren Baines, shown here receovng the award from Drum sgt. Graham Brown. Lauren earned her award due to her dedication and enthusiasm. A near perfect attendance record along with a genuine enthusiasm for what the corp is doing resulted in her band mates putting Lauren forward for this award.

The Peel Regional Police Pipe Band Awards are handed out annually and the recipients chosen by the band members themselves. Congratulations to this years recipients.
