Jim,
As a piper myself, I'll point everyone in the direction of the biggest Great Highland Bagpipe forum on the internet http://www.bobdunsire.com.
Cheers.

IIRC, they are the HS with their own pipe band, right?
No, I went to Philly schools, once upon a time when there was an actual music program.
Incidentally, the third-ranked piper in all of North America lives just outside Bethlehem.
(And virtual gold medal for you, if you have a pipe joke I havent yet heard!
)
Yes, and quite a pipe band it is (or at least was). I went to Lehigh back in the mid-70's, and I want to say they had at least 40 pipers in the band back then. They must have started them in pre-school!
The other big high school in Bethlehem was Freedom, and they had a big fife and drum corps. So every year, it was the Brits vs. the Yanks. Quite a rivalry, and a lot of musical talent to boot.

Have you had a go at the pipes yourself, then saxhound?
40 is a huge number of pipers. The majority of bands in the NE corridor today are much smaller. Average pipeband would be say, 12-16 pipes, 6-8 drums.
