Welcome John Dally and Scott Robertson back to WPA events this Saturday.
John Dally - master of many bagpipes
John Dally is one of the founding members of Washington Pipers’ Association, if not the reason we began at all. A master of bagpipes from many regions with a wealth of historical and musical knowledge, John has performed regularly around Western Washington and beyond since the age of 14. Contact information for John is available here>>
Scott Robertson at WPA 2009
Scott Robertson is enthusiastic about his return to adjudicate at WPA. Scott was the only drumming judge at the BC Pipers Association mini-gathering last weekend (a task that usually requires two adjudicators), but is making the trip down to join us again, and we greatly appreciate it. Scott is currently instructing grade 4 and 5 side drummers of the RMM Pipe Band. He has instructed and led pipe band drum corps including organizing and training bands for recording and competing in North America and Britain. Drum Corps taught include: Triumph Street Pipe Band, Vancouver Ladies Pipe Band (1980 World Champions),Delta Police Pipe Band, Seaforth Highlanders. Drum Corps that he has played with include TSPB (1979 World Champions) 1974 – 1991 and the Abbotsford Police Pipe Band. Scott is an “A” level (all grades) certified side, drum corps, tenor and ensemble judge with the BC Pipers Association. He frequently judges at highland games in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. For more info about Scott, please visit www.scottondrums.com and www.scottondrums-school.com.
Just a brief mention; five pipers and drummers from Washington State are competing at http://winterstorm.net in Kansas City this weekend. Good luck Jori Chisolm, Brian McKenzie, Will Nichols, Graham Young, and Steven Wheeler!
