In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of pipe bands with Kevin Auld, a veteran Scottish bagpiper and teacher from the Pacific Northwest. Kevin shares his journey into Scottish bagpiping, his role in leading a junior pipe band, and the challenges and joys of teaching this unique instrument to the next generation. We discuss the importance of community, the intricacies of playing in a pipe band, and strategies for recruiting new members. Kevin also offers insights into the broader value of youth arts programs and advice for those looking to connect with their communities. Join us for an enriching conversation about music, tradition, and building lasting connections.
