1. A chance to get instruments going after the holiday break.
2. Tutoring from one of NZ’s top pipers.
3. Opportunities for more intensive teaching and practice.
4. The All Stars group will have an opportunity to practice together. They will also parade on the last day.

Tutors: In addition to our own senior members, we are fortunate to have the services of two excellent tutors for this workshop. Cameron Budge will be assisting the drummers over the first three days while Dave Welsh, Pipe Major of the Wellington Red Hackle Pipe Band, will be here on the Wednesday to work with individuals and the group.

Programme: Once again we will be aiming to provide all our learners whether just starting or more advanced with individual and group sessions. On Thursday 26th the group will play at Atawhai at 11am and then go to lunch (own cost). See next page for the workshop programme.

Uniforms: Are to be worn on Thursday as there will a session about the correct wearing of uniforms and it’s the day we perform in Taradale at Atawhai.

So that we can plan the programme to give everyone individual attention please contact the Pipe Major advising the names of those attending. The fee is $5 per day.
