I got excited when I heard the call for a Masonic pipe club, but it wasn’t what I thought. Some of the brethren up in the Hudson Valley are exploring the possibility of organizing a Masonic pipes and drums square club. As in bagpipes! From the publicity:
My name is Bro. Antonio J. Forte from Dunwoodie Lodge 863 in the First Westchester-Putnam District. Myself and a few brothers from the district have been meeting informally and discussing the formation of a Masonic pipes & drums square club with the permission of the DDGM. We have disseminated an email to help determine the level of interest.
The formation and operation of a pipes & drums band requires many hands: bagpipers, drummers, fund raisers, uniforms, instruments, etc. With this in mind, I have created a Google survey to see if brothers in neighboring districts would be interested in participating, if this comes to fruition.
It is my hope that this survey could be disseminated to neighboring districts like the Second Westchester District, Bronx District, Orange-Rockland District, and Dutchess District.
Click here.
If there is enough interest, and if approved by the Grand Master for operation, this square club would meet on a regular basis in the Westchester County area to learn to play, practice, and perform pipes and drums music. No experience necessary, only a willingness to learn.
We may contact you depending on your level of interest. Thank you for taking the time to check out the survey!
