Learning the Pipes & Drums We offer FREE bagpipe and drumming lessons...... The band offers instruction for piping and drumming as an encouragement and incentive for attracting new members. An instructional program has been designed to meet the needs of the individual member and the band as a whole. It consists of instruction ultimately designed to integrate and transition the piper or drummer into the “parade” band at a level of basic competency. The band also provides expert instruction for the pipe and drum corps through a variety of mechanisms including monthly practice sessions with outside instructors, band workshops, and incentives for individual instruction. The band is in the process of developing a program of instruction for the drum corp with Scott Appel. Scott will be working with the drum corp following the "retirement" of long time lead snare and instructor, Mike Emond. The band is currently seeking persons interested in learning Scottish drumming. If you are interested, please contact us. The parade band practices every Wednesday night with few exceptions during the course of the year. The purpose of the practices is to provide individual attention for those needing it, to work on the band’s repertoire on chanters and pipes, work on unison playing, tuning, band sound, marching and deportment, etc. Senior players and officers will also be available to assist with pipe maintenance problems, etc. A high level of commitment is expected and required for those members wanting to perform with the band. Regular attendance at practice is very important. |
