The mission of Clear Lake

performance, education, and research with regard to the music of the great

course. Study can focus on any number of topics such as:

About us
Our band was formed in December of 2006. We have
approximately 15 members. We are a Grade 5, non-competition band. Most
of our experienced pipers have been playing for 3 or 4 years. Most of
the newer pipers have 1 year or less of experience. We presently have
3 drummers. While we do not compete as a band, individual members are
encouraged to enter at least one competition annually to receive feedback on
their performance. Our members range in age from 10 to "no comment".
If you have been around pipe bands at all, I'm sure you will recognize the
same people in our band.
About you
You have the heart of a teacher. Regardless of whether
you are a world champion piper or a hometown amateur piper, you have
valuable knowledge and experience that you want to share with an
eager-to-learn bunch. Perhaps you are visiting the Houston, Texas area
for a few days. Perhaps you live near us. You are as excited
about piping and drumming as we are!
Does it pay?
It might. Depending on your requirements, we MAY be
able to pool our own individual funds to pay you for your time, meals,
housing.
If you are interested, we
really want to hear from you! Please call or email P/M Brian Berlin

Protect Your Hearing
Clear Lake Pipe Band strongly encourages all pipers and drummers to protect
their hearing by using ear plugs.
