San Antonio Pipes and Drums
The San Antonio Pipes and Drums, a non-profit organization formed in
1986, strives to present traditional bagpipe band music for the enjoyment of
both musician and audience. Members wear traditional Scottish attire, each kilt
in an authentic tartan of the member's choice so that many clans are
represented. Instruments played are the Great Highland Bagpipes and specially
tuned drums. The group strives to improve performance and to encourage and
assist beginners. Participants range in age from teenagers to "over 70"
retirees. They average from 60 to 70 performances each year in special events,
festivals, and celebrations over much of Texas. A popular attraction at the
Texas Folklife Festival each year since their formation, the band is also proud
to have played for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the president of Mexico
when they visited San Antonio. They represented the city of San Antonio in a
Fiestas Octubre Parade in Guadalajara,Mexico, and were first musical group
offically to perform in the Alamodome.
