Peggy Lee

Pipe Major

Our fearless leader has played with several bands since the 70’s before helping form and lead the BHP&D. Most of us were her student at some point, and now it’s your turn. Reach our Pipee here...

Sarah Grabowski

Band Manager

Our Band Manager is the definition of overworked and underpaid, but she keeps doing (list way too long to put here) with dedication and a smile. Get her attention here

Harrison Phillis

Lead Drummer

Our current lead tip joined the band when he was knee high to a grasshopper and it has been a pleasure to watch him grow and flourish into the premier drummer he is today. Drumming questions? Give him a RLRR…

Joshua Lee

Webmaster

He Pipes, he drums, he designs websites…is there anything he can’t do? Maybe we could get him to show up on time 😂? We forgive him because he’s a work in progress. Issues with the Website? Give him a poke…
