Overview
I have been piping since 1964. Having played in seven pipe bands, I have also competed in solo and band competitions. I currently serve as pipe major of the Regimental Pipes & Drums, a living-history group. I can perform in Scottish and Irish attire, or simple Daywear in jacket, tie and kilt. My full repertoire contains many familiar tunes. I always send a client a copy of my Piping Repertoire, and I enjoy working with clients on the selection of music. I am very flexible and try to accommodate the desires of the client. For enclosed indoor events, I play the Smallpipes. I have played at the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, and the U.S. Army War College.

October 4, 2026Professional, prompt bagpiper who played beautifully.
We hired Gus to play at my mom’s interment service, and he was wonderful. He was prompt, cordial, and very professional. Also, prior to the service, he was immediately responsive to all of my messages. His beautiful playing added a meaningful and memorable touch to the service. We are very grateful and would highly recommend him.

Karen engaged me to play at the interment of her mother's ashes at the Conestoga Memorial Park in Lancaster. She was very easy to work with and soon came up with her selection of tunes to be played.

September 28, 2026My Laurie Ellen’s funeral
Gus played at my wives funeral. His playing of the bagpipes was beautiful. Showed up on time. Dressed for the occasion . Very easy to work with. Gus also was very courteous snd kind to go over the songs I wanted him to play. He also suggested a few other songs. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a bagpiper. If I could give him a higher star rating I would. Thank you Gus for making my Laurie Ellen’s funeral a special and beautiful day.

Steve engaged me to play at the funeral of his wife at the Stauffer Funeral Home in Frederick, MD. He was always very kind and communicative. I really appreciated working closely with him. I played both the Great Highland Bagpipe and the Smallpipes. His Review has touched my heart and made my piping activities very worthwhile.

September 28, 2026Excellent!
Gus was very professional. Arrived early and was flexible with inside vs outside options for instruments. He sent song options in advance and even spoke with an attendant’s daughter about his playing for her school assignment. Worth it!

Margaret engaged me to play at the Celebration of Life for a deceased Irish-American colleague at Dickinson College in downtown Carlisle. The event was held in the Stern Center on campus. I played a selection of Irish and Scottish tunes. The rain held off for about an hour, so I was able to play outside in the Quad area.

September 20, 20265 Stars! Bagpiper Extraordinaire!
Having a party? Do yourself a favor and hire Gus Person, Bagpiper Extraordinaire, for your event—whatever the occasion!
I had a Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day party, and Gus’ participation made the party extra, extra special.
He is not only skilled, he truly enjoys his gift and genuinely enjoyed my family and guests. His enthusiasm was contagious!
He has a great repertoire and will work with you to determine which songs will work best for you and your guests.
A truly enjoyable experience. I’m very glad I booked him for the event and would absolutely recommend him! 5 Stars!

Anne also engaged me to provide entertainment for her mother who was experiencing a birthday. There was a very large crows of family, friends and neighbors. I played a wide selection of popular and familiar Irish tunes. Everyone was clapping and tapping their toes. I wore a traditional Irish Saffron kilt with green accessories. This was a great party!

July 31, 2026Professional Service, Extremely Satisfied
I had a wonderful experience with Gus! Communication with him went well. As co-host of a family event, I was having some difficulties planning everything, but Gus was very accommodating and flexible. He is a professional, kind, and skilled piper, & everyone loved his music. Thank you, I highly recommend Gus!

Andrew engaged me to play at his mother's Celebration of Life at the Stehman UMC church pavilion in Lancaster County. She had died over a year ago and the Celebration also dedicated a new headstone at her grave. I played Sleep, Dearie, Sleep and Amazing Grace on the Great Highland Bagpipe, and also a number of tunes on the Smallpipes. Andrew was great to work with, and I enjoyed meeting his relatives and friends.
