Melodies of Rememberance

 
 Weddings 
 Piping outside the church as guests arrive, and piping the head table to their seats are just two of the more popular duties of a piper on a bride's wedding day.(pics)

 
  Funerals 
 Whether playing for a memorial, or at the graveside, the pipes can add a touching way of saying goodbye.

 
 Festivals and Events 
 Playing birthday parties, at Renaissance festivals, Bar Mitzvahs or anywhere a piper can add to the merriment of a party.
