            I have now played with three bagpipe bands, the Washington Memorial Pipe Band, The Pipes and Drums of the First Highland Watch and the Lehigh Valley Pipe Band. Playing with bagpipe bands has done a lot to expand my knowledge of the world of the pipes and drums and has given me opportunities to experience and do things I could never do as a soloist.
