One might wonder why a piper is featured on the Fiddle Club website… Well, she’s no ordinary piper, and she’s the leader of the club’s youth band!  In August, she competed as part of the Northwest Junior Pipe Band, in the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
Overall, the band came in 6th, and they were featured on King 5 news- here’s the link so you can see them in action. Vienna will be the young lady in the front row:Â http://www.king5.com/story/news/local/2015/08/15/nw-junior-pipe-band-places-6th–world-championships/31783447/

Here are the dates we have set aside for our monthly meetings.
