To fund the band\, a Tag Day campaign raised $72 and the Victoria-Guelph Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire collected $500. The Guelph Pipe Band was officially formed in the fall of 1922. \nMembers of the band served with the Highland Light Infantry during the Second World War. Guelph’s Pipe Major Art Corstorphine led the Canadian bands as they marched into Berlin in 1945. After the war\, the Guelph Pipe Band competed in the Ontario highland games circuit\, under Pipe Major Bob Whittle. \nIn 1968\, Whittle and Lead Drummer Andy Donachie led the band to fifth place in their class at the World Pipe Band Championships in Grangemouth\, Scotland. As a competitive soloist\, Edward Neigh was one of the first non-Scottish players to win the Dunvegan medal\, a prize sought by pipers around the world. In 1976\, the Guelph Pipe Band captured the North American Championship in Grade II. In 1977\, they were the first Canadian band to win the Intercontinental Pipe Band Championship at the Scottish World Festival in Toronto.\nToday\, the Guelph Pipe Band celebrates 100 years under Pipe Major Tyler Bridge and Lead Drummer Thomas Litherland. \nPhotograph taken at the Cambridge Highland Games by Meagan Young \n\nWatch History Bites: Guelph Pipe Band at 100 Years with Guelph Museums curator Dawn Owen\, and past and present band members Tyler Bridge\, Jim McGillivray\, Ellen Mole\, Marilyn Willis\, Larry Willis and more! \nPart 1:\n \nPart 2:

SUMMARY:Touching Sound: A tactile art installation created by Olivia Brouwer
DESCRIPTION:Touching Sound is a three-dimensional collage created by individuals with sight loss\, following a sensory-led nature walk and workshop at the Guelph Arboretum in late-June 2023. The six participants were asked to rely on their senses of touch\, smell\, and hearing to navigate their walk\, and to record their feelings\, memories\, and associations through a “deep listening” practice grounded in the environment. The walk informed what was created in the workshop\, which consisted of mixed media\, abstract\, mobile sculptures. . Audio recordings made by the participants can be found near their sculpture as touch-activated buttons. \nTouching Sound is supported by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and funded by the Ontario Arts Council. \nMeet the artists: \nOlivia Brouwer is a partially blind artist based in Cambridge\, Ontario. Olivia creates mixed media paintings\, prints\, sculptures\, and sound art of abstract interpretations of our natural surroundings while inviting both sighted and non-sighted audiences to interact and perceive using the senses of touch and hearing. \nDawn Matheson is an interdisciplinary artist from Guelph\, Ontario\, with a social practice\, co-creating within diverse populations living with difference or disability\, using the medium of video\, installation\, and sound. Dawn hopes to interrupt civic and social spaces with unexpected moments of beauty\, curiosity\, and joy. \n \n
