Wabash Valley College, in Mt. Carmel, Il, is continuing to offer a class on learning to play the Great Highland Bagpipe and Scottish-style drumming, INS 2144. The class will meet from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. on Monday evenings in the International Building Room 2 beginning June 5.

Members of Kyilindi Pipes and Drums will assist William McKiddy in teaching the Great Highland Bagpipe. Theresa McKiddy will be teaching Celtic drumming.
