As an informational FYI, the Manchester Pipe Band is hosting an open house on Friday October 13th at 6PM at the Lutz Children’s Museum, 247 S Main Street, Manchester.  Come learn about tuition-free lessons provided on a weekly basis in traditional bagpiping and drumming.

Piping and drumming has been taught in Manchester for generations, and is a highly worthwhile activity for children who are looking to apply artistic ambitions, develop individual expression, and work as a team-member – all while being involved in the community. The Manchester Pipe Band’s team of instructors is among the best in the country, and features local, national, and international prizewinners.

Here’s what to expect at the open house for the Kids:  Introductory Activities, Give the Instruments a try, Try on a Kilt

Here’s what to expect at the open house for the Parents:  Program introduction by instructors, Frequently Asked Questions, Parent Testimonials, and Sign-up, light refreshments
