Update #4 · Dec 23, 2012 · 1 comment

Hello  Supporters,

I just wanted to thank you once again for your support. I also want to thank everyone for their concern and well wishes for the members of the FDNY Pipes & Drums after Hurricane Sandy. We are slowly re-building and appreciate all the help and support we have received.

I also want to let our supporters know that all prizes have been shipped (excluding the DVD of the Documentary.) If you did not receive your prize, please e-mail me via kickstarter.com or my e-mail timgeraghty@yahoo.com and I will personally make sure you receive your gifts.

For those that will be receiving a DVD copy of the documentary, they will not be shipped until some time in 2013. Firstly, we cannot release copies of the documentary until we find out if it has been accepted into any film festivals. Secondly, the release of the film has been delayed due to Hurricane Sandy. I will keep you posted via Kickstarter.com and I thank you for your support.

Have a Merry Christmas

Timothy Geraghty

Hurricane Sandy

Update #3 · Nov 8, 2012 · 3 comments

Hello Supporters,

Parts of New York City has been devastated by Hurricane Sandy, the largest Hurricane that has ever made land fall in the United States. Over one thousand Firefighters have been effected by the Hurricane including myself and many more members of the pipe band. I live in Long Beach, New York and my town, including my house has been flooded. It will be  months before I will be able to return. Members of the band have cancelled all engagements and are working around the clock, on duty and off, to help people that have been effected  by the storm. The documentary has been placed on hold, but we are still trying to get out the prizes. Luckily all prizes were saved and are being stored at a UPS Store. UPS will now be packaging and shipping them ASAP. Keep all members of the Department who have been effected by the storm in your thoughts and prayers.
