Next Event on our Band Calendar: Saturday, March 29 at Wendler Middle School, 2905 Lake Otis Parkway in Anchorage – Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums performing at the annual Celtic Spring Festival, along with other area Bands! There will be performances by various Solo performers, small groups, and of course, Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums will be there to keep things “Piping Hot.” At the Celtic Spring Festival, there will also be a great class that you won’t want to miss, if you’re interested in learning more about piping and drumming: An Introduction to Piping & Drumming. Hope to see you there!

For those ready to take the plunge, the Band meets regularly for weekly practice every Friday 6:30-8:30pm at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 18444 Old Glenn Hwy in Chugiak (on Old Glenn Hwy between North and South Birchwood Loops) We heartily welcome any experienced Pipers and Drummers in the area to come to our regular weekly practices and play with us! Even if it has been a while since you’ve played regularly, we can help get you sorted! Come on out and join us!

Throughout the year on Fridays 5:30pm-6:30pm we hold lessons for beginners and intermediate pipers on chanter and bagpipe, as well as lessons for beginner and intermediate drummers (Scottish Side Drum, Tenor, and Bass.) Lessons are by arrangement, prior to weekly practice at each venue. If you’re interested, please contact Pipe Major Richard Christiansen by text at 907-315-9838, or email at jungstensgericht@yahoo.com
