If you would like to learn to play the bagpipes or Scottish drumming, the band's teaching program is open to you. For piping, you must provide your own practice chanter and a copy of the "College of Piping Book."
For drumming, you must provide your own sticks and drum pads. The band
instructors will tell you where to get these and we recommend you make
your first visit an informal one to meet the band and see how the
program works. The teaching program convenes every Thursday evening at
6:30 p.m. at the
First Presbyterian Church,
763 North Blvd. (Downtown Baton Rouge).
You say you already play the pipes or drums and would like to be part of the
Baton Rouge Pipes and Drums? Come and meet with us at the same time and place. The band is under the direction of Pipe Major Stan Masinter. Meet with the band and its officers and learn about the band, its program, and the Scottish community in Baton Rouge.
There are few more recognizable signs of Scotland than the kilted pipers
and drummers. Come and see what it's all about!
For more information, please contact Pipe Major Stan Masinter at (225) 927-0252 or email him at livewell@bellsouth.net.
