AGS to host Open House and member BBQ
The Airdrie Gaelic Society (AGS) will be hosting an open house with the Airdrie Scots Pipes and Drums (ASPD) on June 25th. You will have the opportunity to try your hand at playing the Bass drum, tenor drums or snare drum. You can also try playing a practice chanter.
The ASPD is open to anyone interested in Piping or Drumming. We can help you set up lessons if you don’t know how to play or want to improve; Those that know how to play are welcome to join the band. Membership in the ASPD requires membership in the AGS.
After the Open House, the AGS will be hosting a BBQ for members. We ask our members to RSVP so that we know how many people to prepare for. Members please add yourself to our Facebook event, or email treasurer@airdriescots.ca
