Corsham Schools Visit

Our Piper, Tony Beauchamp, was asked to visit Corsham Primary School as part of the School’s Coronation celebrations. Tony started by showing the children how a Bagpipe worked and which parts of the pipes made the drone sound, and the melody sound. Then he demonstrated the technique of breathing and playing of the pipes to an enthusiastic group of children.

He then played some tunes to entertain them.

A short drive through Corsham and he performed the same routine at a second school to another large group of children.

The Southern Jacobites Pipe Band has just received the following letter of thanks from the Head Teacher of the schools..

Well done Tony.

Dear George,

Corsham Schools Visit

” Thank you so very much for arranging for Tony to come into our school. He was absolutely amazing!

Tony spent time talking to the children about the bagpipes and how he became an expert bagpiper. The children and staff loved Tony playing in the hall and it really marked the King’s Coronation perfectly at our school.

Thank you so very much – we loved it! ”
