Dear Kiltie Fans and Friends! 

Mad Plaid Brass is looking for experienced horn players to join our ensemble.

MAD PLAID BRASS is a sit-down Concert Bugle Corps, featuring an assortment of both Kiltie and contemporary charts. Music stands will always be welcome. We will parade on a flatbed trailer and also play some sitting concerts.

The expected time commitment is minimal, but the opportunity for fun is unlimited. From November through April we usually hold two three hour rehearsals per month. From May through August, expect that there will be a performance or a three hour rehearsal every other week.

Rehearsals will be on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month, 1:30PM to 4:30PM at Racine Eagles Club, 319 Hamilton St, Racine, WI.

Stop by and play some music with old friends or just come to watch.

You might want to bring:

• Music stand
• A friend or two
• We can provide you with a horn.

See you there!

If you have questions or would like to join us.
Call Rich Hinderholtz at 262 347-6636 for more information.

The Kilties announce a new Direction

Despite assembling an enthusiastic and talented staff for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the Kilties Drum & Bugle Corps were unsuccessful in fielding a corps due to a lack of membership.  At that time, the Kilties Board of Directors made the difficult decision to only focus on Mad Plaid Brass, and grow our presence in the community by providing support to various performing arts based organizations.  Since then, the Kilties have provided sponsorship in various ways for such organizations as:

• Mad Plaid Brass – Kilties community band based in Racine
  
  
• Lighthouse Brigade (a competitive junior Band from Racine) - monetary donations to assist in new uniform efforts
  
  
• Fond du Lac winter guard (a competitive Junior Color Guard based in Fond du Lac Wisconsin) - monetary donations since 2010 to assist with equipment, uniforms, and Insurance Coverage
  
  
• Montage winter guard (a competitive Junior Color Guard from Milwaukee) – monetary donation to be used in the 2019/2020 Competitive Season
  
  
• UW Parkside Drumline – loan of drum equipment
  
  
• Belle City Brassworks – ad donation in 2019 winter program
  
  
• Oak Creek HS Band – donation of various Front Line and keyboard equipment
  
  
• Oak Creek Art Center – donation of keyboard equipment
  
  
• Waukesha West HS – donation of needed equipment
  
  
• Racine Horlick HS – donation of needed equipment

Help the Kilties support performing arts based organizations and attend 2022 Great Lakes Brew Fest September 10th 2022, at Celebration Place, on Kenosha’s lake front.

See you there!
