On May 28, 2022, the band travelled to Greenville, SC to compete, and took first place overall. It was a great day for the band, but a bit sad, too, as it was the last competition for our eldest piper, John, who is off to college in the fall.
This was a highlight of the winter for everyone! We were invited to play at the Knights Theater Uptown Charlotte for the Tosco Music Party! Continued
We were honored to accept an invitation from Raleigh’s premiere pipe band, Wake & District to play in a concert! This concert honored the 100 year anniversary of WWI’s Armistice Day. Along the amazing Wake & District Band were local Irish and Scottish Dancers. This event was a big step for many of the beginners. This was their first time on stage as well as the first time playing in front of people. Many, many thanks to all of the great people at Wake & District for this opportunity, it was a night to remember!

Our group of young pipers and drummers were given a great opportunity to see how bagpipes are made. It’s not often that a band has a pipemaker living in their own backyard. Roddy, founder/owner of MacLellan Bagpipes, has been making pipes for 25 years. He began in NY and is now in Monroe, NC, a suburb of Charlotte. Continued
This past end of summer, 2018, the band said “good-bye” to our first Pipe Major. Liam served as the founding piper and pipe major of this young band just a few years ago. He went on to college to study art and to continue piping as he has time. Hopefully we will see him around still. Another piper also aged out at the same time. Alex graduated and went on to college. These two strong pipers left a big gap in our pipe section but we have already seen others coming up and will hopefully continue to grow.
Thanks Liam for your wonderful leadership over this young group. You are appreciated.

The band performed at the Grand Opening of Jekyll and Hyde Taphouse in Matthews, NC and for their Saint Patrick’s Day Party. A great time!
The band had the opportunity to perform for the first time at the Charlotte Folk Society’s “Youth Showcase”. It was a great experience and fun to see all of the other young musicians. Thanks for having us!
