HDPD Fall 2006 Celtic Night made the press of the Wallace
Clan Newsletter. Following is an excerpt from the Clan Wallace
(Worldwide) newsletter:
“We were very fortunate in being
there for a benefit show and dinner for the High Desert Pipes
and Drums(HDP&D),
our official pipe band. The HDP&D will return to Scotland
this year for competitions and need all of the financial
help they can get. The Benefit was held in the Police Lodge
on Jefferson Street. Col. Craig Chamberlain USA (Ret) was
the Master of Ceremonies. The guests of honor were three
veterans of WWII, Patrick Wright, Sye Feldman, and Soloman
Barth. The HDP&D performed first with traditional music
that youwould expect, and some great solos. This is a very
talented band. We had dinner and were entertained by students
from the Albuquerque Academy under the direction of Katie
Harlow performing as “Mind the Gap”. They performed
a selection of traditional and original material in the Celtic
tradition. They were great.
After the dinner the individual members of the HDP&D
band had a talent show. Not what you would expect from members
of a pipe band. No Siree Bob. These people put on a show
that was worth the price of admission all by itself. The
show ranged from original arrangements on the marimba, to
pantomime, to Elvis Presley, to Frank Sinatra sound alike
signing “The Lady is a Tramp” by Chris Cahoon.
They were all good and you begin
to understand the musical talent that makes up this band.
They are “world class.”
