When
it comes to bagpipe performance, there is a world of flexibility
to explore. No two events, whether a wedding celebration or
a birthday celebration, are exactly alike.
A bagpipe performance can be custom created
to fit in appropriately with your event. The music selection,
as well as when the music is performed, are both things that
can be changed and molded in order to better accommodate your
event.
Although bagpipes can be played at almost any
event, the following is a list of the most popular events
in which bagpipes are sounded:
- Wedding Ceremonies
– Bagpipes have been played at weddings for centuries!
A bagpipe performance at a wedding may include playing before
the ceremony begins as the guests arrive, as the bridal
party enters in the processional, during the actual ceremony
between one of the stages, during the recessional, or outside
during the receiving line. Pipes can be played as little
or as much as you would like during a wedding ceremony,
once again, all of the choices and modifications are up
to you!
- Funerals & Memorial
Services – The solemn, mournful, and respectful
sound of the bagpipe is something that is found present
at many funerals and memorials around the world. Hymns,
such as Amazing Grace, Going Home, or The Skye Boat Song
are songs that would be very appropriate to honor an individual’s
life through a bagpipe performance. The way bagpipes churn
and strike up emotions cannot be explained………
Once again, a performance can be created that contains just
the right amount of music for you and your family.
- Parties and Birthdays
- Some Other Event???
- Please let me know your creative ideas! There is absolutely
no restriction on how and where bagpipes can be used!
I take pride in being able to offer bagpipe
music of a high quality, as well as being able to work 100%
with you in order to create a long lasting memory. My ultimate
goal is your satisfaction, I will accept nothing less.
PRICING
Please feel free to call me or e-mail me to
discuss pricing for a performance. Just as all events are
unique, prices will also be different depending on the event.
VOLUNTEER WORK
In the past I have done volunteer performances
for many local organizations including The Boys and Girls
Clubs, The American Legion, Litchfield Schools, and others.
If you are interested in scheduling a performance/presentation
for an organization featuring bagpipes and Scottish history,
please contact me. I do not charge for these performances,
however depending on the location I may need to charge for
gas mileage.
