We never had anyone play a full drum set, though some are learning now...but they're out of the house. Also had flute, tin whistle (bagpipe brother doubles on whistles), cello, and all the usual "kid" instruments like harmonicas and xylophones and such.
My bagpiper brother plays with the Graham Highlanders from St. Johnsbury, VT. They're still fairly new as a band...but have done fairly well in competitions and such for their level.
I've not heard of them. We're in the midwest and know an abundance of pipers from Ohio and west. Not real familiar with the eastern pipers. Our daughter did compete at Prince Edward's Island a couple of years ago. My husband took her, that was one of the competitions that I didn't get to go to. She was more excited about Anne of Green Gables than the piping competition!
