2010 Bartholomew County Fair – Southern Indiana Pipes and Drums
on January 12th, 2012 at 7:58 amFor decades, the Great Highland Bagpipe has been utilized to inspire and to entertain. A lone piper playing a mournful lament or hymn augments a solemn celebration like as a funeral or memorial service, while the very same pipe can provide a hornpipe or jig that can make the urge to dance irresistable at a get together, wedding ceremony reception, or corporate function.

The Band performs at a large wide range of functions and events as perfectly as individually and as a custom sized team at private request. Our members have a vast assortment of knowledge and backgrounds and our major curiosity is to have pleasurable sharing the audio of the Terrific Highland Bagpipe among ourselves and with people. The band is open to any individual who is truly fascinated in mastering and playing bagpipes and drums in a noncompetitive ambiance.
