Dearborn County commissioners on May 19, 2026, approved a proclamation recognizing the 10th anniversary of the 35th Indiana Pipes and Drums and extended appreciation for the group’s civic and cultural contributions.
The proclamation, read aloud at the meeting, says the band was founded in 2015 by Mark Morton and has “become a valued and recognizable presence throughout Dearborn County and the surrounding region,” performing at parades, festivals and memorial services and supporting charitable community initiatives. The text encourages county residents to join in recognizing the band’s accomplishments.
A commissioner moved to approve the proclamation and another seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The motion to approve was recorded as carried by the chair.
A band representative took the microphone to offer brief remarks of thanks. The speaker said, “I’ll just — I’ll try to be as brief as I can,” and later added, “Well, thank you very much for the recognition.”
The proclamation bore the county seal and was signed by the board; it records the recognition as approved in Lawrenburg on May 19, 2026. The board invited the band forward for a group photo following the vote.
