About this campaign
The CHS Kilties need your help. Keeping an 87 year old tradition going is not easy. Every year there are costs for maintaining uniforms and instruments or buying new pieces if needed and this year is no exception. We have to sell at least 20 shirts before any will be printed.
If we reach our goal of 100 shirts sold, we will raise $1059.00! All funds raised will go towards the Kiltie Drum and Bugle Corps and will help pay for uniforms and other necessities.
Shirts will be delivered approximately 2 weeks after the close date.
The Central High School Kilties Drum & Bugle Corps are recognized as the oldest uniformed girls drum corps in the United States, starting in 1926. Established by R. Ritchie Robertson in Springfield, Missouri.
In the "roaring twenties" the city of Springfield was lucky to count as one of its citizens, Dr. Robert Ritchie Robertson. "Public school music director," was not just a job to Dr. Robertson, it was an opportunity to enrich the lives of the students that passed through the Springfield public schools.
Dr. Robertson coined the phrase "Teach a boy to blow a horn, and he won't blow a safe." His first contribution to the community of Springfield was organizing, directing, and most importantly, securing community support of the largest Boy Scout Band in the world.
Not satisfied with his contribution, he worried that there were no constructive groups for the girls of high school age and he focused his attention to the task at hand. Drawing from his Scottish heritage, his answer of course was to form the first all girl drum and bugle corps in the United States. The end result of that dream of course still marches today as the Central High School Kilties in Springfield, Missouri.
