The organization also operates an entirely volunteer-run academy from September-May for children and adults interested in learning to play bagpipes and drums.

The organization plans to send two bands to compete at the North American Championships in Ontario in 2025 and is currently fundraising to allow both bands to compete at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Scotland in 2026.
