Five very excited young pipers were delighted when their instructor, Craig Campbell, arrived at school with not one set, but FIVE sets of bagpipes. They were extremely proud and relieved that they were able to get a sound out of them after much huffing and puffing.
When they got home…..
Jodie’s mum and dad were very proud of her for “up-levelling” – starting out on a wooden chanter, moving on to the black chanter and now the pipes.
Rory’s mum and dad were delighted and can’t wait until he can play a few tunes. They say, if he can pipe he can go anywhere!
Rowan’s family were very pleased because most of his family have played the pipes, and he is only in P6!
Lara was really proud and excited to show her mum because her big sister has pipes. Her mum was really surprised because Lara had forgotten to tell her she might be getting the pipes.
Archie’s parents were over the moon. They think he might be the first piping professional golfer when he grows up.
Everyone is looking forward to the first performance of the Tighnabruaich Pipe Band.
Wow! I’m sure that was a very noisy day at school! I was in P7 when I got my first set of bagpipes and I went on to play with the Dunoon Grammar School pipe band. The first day I took my bagpipes home my mum had to hold them, my sister blew into them and I played the chanter! Keep practising – it won’t be long until your hard work will pay off!
