If the last year proves anything, it's that we can't see or really predict the future, but sometimes, you just get a feeling. Last night was the Spring Recital for our Grade 4 pipe band The Conservatory of Performing Arts Pipe Band and what a great night it was. It gave me the feeling that the future for piping and drumming is very strong, especially if we are able to get more kids into the program. If you are interested in a strong Grade 2 band well into the future, this should be a focus of your recruiting activity. We need a strong focus in our band on teaching and supporting kids who want to play these instruments. If we do that, it'll be easier to predic the future success of our own group.

So true! The thing that I see in these young people is that they develop true passion for the art of piping and drumming in our organization. They get so excited with every milestone and inspire each other along the way. Their pride is demonstrated in the way they wear their uniforms and carry themselves. Even if they don't have a lifetime of satisfaction and involvement in piping and drumming, they can apply what they have learned and experienced in every aspect of their lives. Who could ask for anything more? Very cool.
