Looking for experienced Pipers and Drummers
The Keith Highlanders Pipe Band is one of
the most successful pipe bands in the Seattle area. As a result of running a
successful instruction program for pipers and drummers for several years, plus
the competition successes of the band, the band has attracted many new
pipers and drummers. Come to
