Thank you very much for introducing yourself. I'll try to come to the performance at 3:15pm at the Viera stadium and we'll hopefully meet in person. If not, I'll come to practice on Sunday the 12th for a meet and greet and we'll take it from there.
It's interesting that you mention that you're adding a more (non-tradiditional) flare to the repertoire. Over the course of my drumming career (30+ years), I have been in over 7 pipe bands (both Irish and Scottish) and the drumming techniques have progressively become more and more "non-tradiditional" so it seems to be the common practice these days, which I think is great. To give you an example, please feel free to visit the website of the band which I left when I moved down here (Police Pipes and Drums of Waterbury). Go to http://www.policepipesanddrums.com and click on "Our Music". There you can see the listing of tracks from our latest CD and hear a sample of 3 song sets (Pub Set: Irish Eyes/Wild Rover/Whiskey In The Jar, The Gael, and Caber Feidh). My 2 favorites are Amazing Grace and our Drummer's Salute which I've attached to this e-mail for your pleasure. Our version of Amazing
Grace is a perfect example of how we did things "differently".
I look forward to meeting you in person.
Thanks again,
Jim Adams

Hi Jim, I am David Spurlock, Pipe Major of our band. We would love to have you join us. The different breed of band George referred to in his email only means that we are not focusing on competition at the moment. We are a good grade 5 band who could easily be grade 4 if we so intended. Lately we have been working on adding an Albannach style drumming segment into our performance repertoire. It still needs work from the pipe and the drum section but we've been having great fun with it. You may want to check out the band this Saturday at the Space Coast Stadium in Viera. We will be performing at 3:15. Due to the holiday we will not be fielding our full band of 12 pipers and 6 drummers but we should have enough to have a good showing. I am looking forward to meeting you and hope you will consider becoming part of us.
