I was talking to Pat yesterday & he mentioned there were, like, 13 pipers at practice on Wednesday. That's awesome!!! And it's great to hear that the students are getting up and working on pipes. Way to go Paul, Colleen, Liam, & especially Charlie. I'm very proud of you guys.

Keep up the good work!!! I'm very proud!!!
