Piping and Drumming:
The world renowned City of Washington Pipe Band - The City of Washington Pipe Band - This is a performance you don't want to miss! In 2001 the band made the finals in the World Championships and took 12th overall! The City of Washington Pipe Band proudly carries forward with the musical traditions of all its roots. These include the rudimentary drum and bugle percussion style of John Bosworth; the fiddle and folk traditions learned from Bonnie Rideout; and the original compositions of Charlie Glendinning. And like the U.S. Air Force Pipe Band a half-century ago, the City of Washington Pipe Band brings all the power and glory of the modern pipe band to the Nation's Capital in performances ranging from the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the Mall to the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The MacMillan Pipe Band - The MacMillan Pipe Band was organized as the ?lumni Pipe Band to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Rockville High School Pipe Band during the 33rd Annual National Capital Area Scottish Festival in May of 2001. The band is a ?ome for the alumni of the two schools (Rockville and Peary), and an organization for recent pipe band graduates to join. It is also another option for other area pipers and drummers who may wish to join. The MacMillan Pipe Band will continue to honor the memory of D.B. MacMillan while celebrating ?wo Schools, One Tradition.?/p>
The Rockville High School Pipe Band - the future of Scottish Piping and Drumming lives on in these youngesters! They are amazing! Come on out and cheer them on!
Ceilidh Music:
Sligo Creek is an Acoustic Irish/Scottish/American Folk Band based in Maryland. With over 20 years of performing experience in various acts, the members of Sligo Creek have sought to put together a band with two very specific goals:
First, to play the very best of the best, as far as traditional folk music is concerned.
Secondly, to play it in a way that the ?verage Joe in the audience will come away with a new appreciation for, or introduction to, what is arguably some of the best music ever written.
Ballads that are sung with emotion; Powerful Sea Shanties; Upbeat Stories and Classic Melodies sung the way they were meant to be. That? Sligo Creek.
And more! We might have some special guests appearing? Stay tuned!
