Our Philosophy:
Celtic Nations Pipes and Drums is a diverse group of musicians dedicated to the preservation and celebration of the Celtic Heritage and the music of The Great Highland Bagpipe accompanied by Highland pipe-band style Drumming. As a teaching organization, the Band has created an atmosphere where all of its Members, regardless of experience, enjoy the fellowship of the group. Performances portray the high value the Band places on music. Each Member is dedicated to continually making Celtic Nations Pipes and Drums an organization where everyone is encouraged to be their very best.
A Short History:
In our short existence, we've compiled a nice resume. Since our founding in 2002, we've become pretty well-rounded. In addition to the traditional parades, we’re regularly hired for performances and also compete at Highland Games. We have the good fortune to have Ron "Ringo" Bowen with us as Musical Director. He is instrumental in the evolution of our sound and repertoire. His continued support and direction allows us to prosper as a teaching organization. His new endeavor is the best pipes and drums school in the area. Working with his associates, the Midwest School of Piping and Drumming has been established. Celtic Nations Pipe band is proud to associated, and ardently supports this school. As well as The Bagpipe School, a unique year-round evening school formed and taught by teachers of Midwest School of Piping and Drumming and Celtic Nations Pipe band.
