Great musicianship, low price

These pipers and drummers are students, but there is no sacrifice in quality. They perform as well as any other event piper, but at a somewhat lower cost.

Influences and inspiration

This group was formed because we find a great interest in the Highland Bagpipes. A few of the students in the Helix Bagpipe band wish to continue playing the bagpipes after graduation and wish to gain experience in this field. Doing events or parties will help us gain the knowledge necessary to efficiently perform better and help out with time flexibility for sed events. This is also a way to help make and raise money for the Helix Charter Bagpipe band to help buy supplies for the band such as reeds, hemp, chanters, drum sticks and new bagpipes.
