Georgetown FD Pipes and Drums Hosts State Band Clinic The Georgetown Fire Department Pipes and Drums Band hosted a two-day Bagpipes and Drums clinic at First Baptist Church in Georgetown Nov 3-5. Members from fire department pipe bands across Texas attended. The number of pipes and drums bands in fire departments has grown to more than 30 in the last several years.
In the event of a fallen public servant, pipes and drums bands from across the state gather to pay tribute at the funeral by playing a common repertoire of music. Georgetown Fire Department Pipes and Drums provide the attendees with elite instruction as part of their mission statement.
Attendees received instruction from three piping instructors and five drumming instructors. The band has a fund established with the Chisholm Trail Communities Foundation to accept tax deductible donations to help pay for instruments, equipment, and uniforms.
Georgetown Pipe & Drum snare drum instructor Stephen Cameron leads the blended group through a rendition of Amazing Grace .
No-Hate November
Teachers and more than 700 Pre-K to 5th grade students at Carver Elementary stepped outside to "hug the school" November 15. The school theme for the month is “No Hate November – Honoring Others”, and they held several events to reinforce the theme. They honored Veterans Nov 11, created a Tree of Respect in the cafeteria, and talked about bullying issues during “No Name Calling” week. Georgetown ISD is a No Place for Hate school district. Nationally, the Anti-Defamation League believes children live and work in a world that is much more diverse than the one we grew up in. Preparing them for success requires providing students with an education in which social, ethical, and academic development are inseparable goals. No Place for Hate helps create and sustain inclusive school environments where all students feel valued and have the opportunity to succeed by promoting respect for individual difference.
