Tuesday | Army, Navy & Air Force Pipe Band
The Army, Navy & Air Force Pipe Band is
looking to attract new players, predominantly beginners. This band has a long history and association with A.N.A.F. and we have always been proud of the demographics within the band, old and young, boys and girls, men and women, people who have been playing for some time and those that are just beginning their playing history on parade!!
The future is in the beginners, hopefully, the young -- but we never turn away anyone because of their age!! The beginners and new players are not only the future of any band, but more importantly, it is the future of the music!! This is one of the main vehicles as to how piping and drumming not only survives but thrives.
We provide instruction for beginner pipers and/or drummers along with the practice instrument (chanter for pipers, practice pad and sticks for drummers).
The student does not pay band fees or membership -- their investment is their time on Tuesday nights for practice and extra practice through the week.
For further information, please contact Bill Grover at bill.grover@hotmail.com or by phone: 613-962-6780
