New Band in Michigan forming

**Scotia N Eire** · 13th October 07, 11:40 AM

Hello, friends...
What a great forum you have here!
A new pipes and drums band is forming in the Genesee/Lapeer/Oakland County area in Michigan.
This is NOT a competition band, but, rather is a band for people interested in enjoying the pipe band experience, bringing enjoyment to our listeners, honoring our heritage, and promoting appreciation of Scottish and Irish history, culture, and arts.
Thus far, we have a small crew of drummers (but can always use more!)...we really need some pipers!
If you are a former competitor, a pipes or drums hobbyist, have Scottish and/or Irish blood in your veins, or just have an interest, drop us a line!
We are at the beginnings of formation, if you'd like to come along for the ride, we'd love to have you! Send me a message here, and/or e-mail me at scotianeire@yahoo.com

All the very best with your new endeavour.

First off, Welcome from another Michigander!

I can't play a lick. I think it cool what your doing!

I'll keep you in mind for our kilt nights.... We need to do one soon.

Hey, Big Paul...You could always be a member of the Honor Guard!

Every good band needs a good honor guard!

Thank you for your well wishes, fellow kilt lovers!
And, yes, we will certainly need a good honor guard...at least an Ireland flag, a Scotland flag, a U.S. flag, and a band banner!

OOPS! I forgot to say...let me second Big Paul's

to my good friend Scotia N Eire! You'll find a great group of people here.
AND... I'm sure your band will be fabulous!

Good luck! Street bands are a lot of fun, and a great way to make friends!

from another Michigander. It seems like there's more and more of us showing up here. Shh...don't tell say anything to Mike about the coup.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I look forward to your eventual Canadian gigs.

Thanks for all of your well wishes gents and ladies! X-Marks is great - how cool to get greetings from around the world!
This is an exciting new venture trying to start up our own band - we have our first piper now, too!
