It's quite a feat to be able to do anything for 95-years, and the Flint Scottish Pipe Band has been showcasing its heritage in song and dance for the past four generations.

Some members stopped by the studio this week to tell us about a special performance that will help raise funds for instruments and uniforms.

The uniforms cost around $1,600. Participants say it's a family group that continues to grow through the years.

"We are the biggest Ceilidh...Ceilidh is Gaelic for 'gathering,' anywhere around. People from Canada, people from the U.S., all come out to our performances to see what we're doing," says George Murray, a pipe major.

The Flint Scottish Pipe Band will play Saturday February 19th at the Davison Knights of Columbus.

Doors open at 6:30pm.

The cost is $16 for adults, $13 for seniors 65 and older, and children 12 and younger.

It's $2 more at the door.
