I hired Andrew as a surprise for my brother's wedding day party which was also his birthday. Andrew arrived even few minutes before scheduled time, flawlessly played every song on the list I had given him and was personable and charming. Was the highlight of my brother's wedding day. Would highly recommend!

About
I have been playing the bagpipes for over 20 years. I started in 4th grade at St Thomas Episcopal School in Houston, TX. Highlights were winning the Grade 3 North American Championships in Canada in 2008 and placing 3rd at the Juvenile World Championships in Scotland in 2010. I have also completed as a solo piper, winning various competitions throughout my career. After high school, I attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where I served as the Pipe Major and Cadet in Charge of the Pipes and Drums band. Throughout my 6 years in the Army, I continued to play the bagpipes. Currently, I live in San Antonio, TX and I play in the Grade 1 Saint Thomas Alumni Pipe Band in Houston, TX.
Additional booking notes
The main requirement for the bagpipes is that I will need a place to tune my bagpipes prior to the actual performance. I will need about 5-10 minutes to do so properly. Other than that, it is a fairly easy set up and no other equipment is required!
