Profile: Hi I'm Blair, I started learning the snare drum with my school pipe band under the tuition of Eileen Much (Grampian Police pipe band) who taught me all the rudiments and basic scores. I decided i wanted to progress my drumming to a higher standard so i was recommended by Chris Henderson (who taught me as well as Eileen at school) and Lachlan Gibb to come along to their band and my local band; Bucksburn and District. In less than a year I was competing with the N/J band where we won the 2008 Scottish, British and World Pipe Band Championships and also the Scottish Drum Corps Championships. In 2009 (my second season) i played with the grade 3 band for half the season and for Perth, Worlds and Cowal Championships i was asked into the grade 2 band. Bucksburn Pipeband is great fun and i would recommend it to anyone that wishes to start learning Pipes or drums or to anyone that would like to advance there playing. Even a change of bands.
