June 28, 1999 - SFUPB  Snare Drums Stolen

Three of the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band's new Pearl Snare Drums were stolen from a locked truck in Coquitlam yesterday. Also taken was a complete Grade 1 uniform: Kilt, Jacket, Vest, Sporran, Ghillies and all accessories.

The blue Pearl Snare Drums do have unique serial numbers.

Local police have been notified.

If you have any information on this matter please contact me (Bob Dunsire) or SFU Band Manager Robert MacNeil

** Update: June 30, 1999 - Two of the stolen SFUPB Snare Drums were found on a local lawn yesterday.  Still missing is one drum and the complete Grade 1 Band uniform.
