After winning 1st place in MSR and Medley Events in Band Competition at the 2024 Alaska Scottish Highland Games, Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums are ready to start the new Piping & Drumming performance season with a blowout Concert! The Rumbledethumps Concert promises to deliver yet again a brilliant afternoon of entertainment by an award-winning local Pipe Band, with piping and drumming from the entire ensemble, as well as solos, and smaller groups of pipers and drummers within the Band. What a great way to spend an Alaska autumn afternoon!
Based in the Mat-Su Valley and Chugiak, Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums are throughout South-Central Alaska, and have great fun teaching, performing, and competing. The Rumblethumps Concert is one of several community concerts presented throughout the state by Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums and is regarded by the Band as a fun way to "get this party started," at the beginning of our performance season.
Prepare to be amazed! If you love bagpipes or pipe bands this Concert is a must-see! The Band are current & prior winners in Pipe Band Competition at the Alaska Scottish Highland Games, and several members have won solo awards in piping and drumming, both here at home, internationally, and in online competitions! Admission to the Concert is free, but donations are always sincerely appreciated, with proceeds to benefit Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums’ Education Fund, and the church youth group.
