Who plays in a Band? Post yer site?

I'm currently the Pipe Sergeant of the Louisville Pipe Band, a position I've held the last two years. I've led the grade 5 (beginners) band in competition for the last three years (PM wasn't available due to professional commitments). I've also led mini-bands for paying gigs and played the bass drum on occasion.

I've been on the pipes for nearly 10 years. My personal progress has slowed since I stopped taking private lessons a few years back (I couldn't afford them any more).

Full disclosure: I moved earlier this year and am NOT a member of this band. I've swapped some e-mails with the PM and am going to start attending practices soon.

YIKES

Thanks. My Gran had a caravan at Tummel Bridge, and I kind of grew up around Loch Rannoch. It deserves a Pipe Band!

I played the DM for one parade, not very good at it, but am going to do a lot of reading up on it so i can do my band proud.

Just a piping student as of now, and hope to be piping next year for the busy season..

Looks a smart, fun bunch.
