Us Coast Guard Pipe Band Founders & Leaders Edition Special Issue March 2013 U.S. COAST GUARD PIPE BAND FOUNDERS & LEADERS EDITION Official Publication of the United States Coast Guard Pipe Band www.uscgpipeband.org * Active * Reserve * Retired * Auxiliary * Inside this Issue: A Special Thanks to the USCG Pipe Band Founders Founders By YNC J. McBain Eudy Current Leaders Since I was a wee lad, I have been utterly enthralled with Celtic music, folklore and traditions. The President surprising thing is the origin of this fascination… it is a mystery; I truly don’t know where it comes from. Although nothing of my heritage has been passed down from my splintered family, I have felt some Celtic Vice President and English traits flow freely from a very pure spot in my soul. Some things like listening to the pipes and Treasurer wearing a kilt have always just felt right. Secretary As a teenager, one of my hidden pleasures was listening to old Irish Celtic music, as well as the pipes and drums. While I listened to whatever pop and rock was popular with my friends, it was the Celtic songs Directors that called to me. These songs went beyond my ear and deeper into my heart. They stirred a sense of Operations longing; longing for a place somewhere on an emerald isle or in misty highlands. Quartermaster When I was stationed in Hawaii as a Petty Officer Second Class, I volunteered to serve on a rifle squad for a funeral at the national cemetery near Kaneohe. (Few things are more important than honoring those who have gone before us.) The cemetery was located on an emerald mound, which was surrounded by a Officers & Directors natural amphitheater of green and black, spire shaped mountains jutting out of the ground and straight up into the sky. The rifle squad stood a short distance from the actual ceremony, while a lone piper stood even President: farther away on a small hill rising up from the mound. After the prayers, a hush came over the site. The lone CWO2 Dave Morgan, USCG (Ret) piper’s song echoed softly across the land, setting the somber tone which was followed by our volley in Vice President: tribute. BMCS Steve Cochran, USCG (Ret) After the ceremony, we packed up our gear and began stowing in the van. I asked the team to stay Treasurer: CDR Andy Anderson, USCG (Ret) behind for a few moments while the family of the departed left. Soon everything grew quite; only the trade winds could be heard blowing across the grass. It was then the lone piper began to play ‘Amazing Grace’ as Secretary: CDR Ken Hines, USCG (Ret) he walked away, down the little hill. The sound reflected off the mountains and swirled in the warm air around the cemetery. Truly, it was a beautiful thing. I knew then I was meant to be part of something great, Directors: something tied to that inner Celtic calling. M. L. Loudermilk, Combat Veteran CAPT Harry Dudley, USCG (Ret) Several months later I was privileged to see and hear CDR Ken Hines play his pipes at an official Coast LT Michael Doria, USCGR Guard function in St. Louis, MO. I remember talking with him briefly about his performance and learning Mr. Kevin Ritchie, USCG AUX the U.S. Coast Guard actually had a uniformed pipe band. Needless to say, my interest was peaked. I was Operations: both excited and depressed. Anyone who truly knows me knows I have an ear for music, but was not blessed LT Michael Doria, USCGR by the Almighty with any sort of musical ability. I remember wanting so badly to be able to play the Asst. Operations: bagpipes, to be a part of such an incredible group. It was not to be at that time though, so I went on honing LTJG Drew Bacon, USCG my craft as a member of various color guard teams in the U.S. Coast Guard instead. IS1 Brian Sanjari, USCG Then, a couple years later, while on temporary orders at the Port Security Unit in Cape Cod, MA, a young LTJG Doria (now LT) began, in earnest, to recruit me for a new color guard team the USCG Pipe Band was putting together. Finally I had a chance to realize my long held dream. There was only one problem; I did not feel even remotely worthy of being part of such a noble organization. It took some deliberation, but I finally grew confident enough, applied and was accepted into the Band in 2009. Since then, I have had, on multiple occasions, the fortunate pleasure of donning the U.S. Coast Guard Tartan and marching with some truly inspiring musicians and shipmates. As a contributing editor for this fine newsletter, even if I do say so myself, I have taken great satisfaction in helping to put together this special edition to honor our founders and leaders. To them I am truly grateful. Without them, I would not be living this lifelong dream. As you read the biography of each, I hope you will join me in gratitude for their vision and willingness to create and lead such a phenomenal U.S. Coast Guard Pipe Band 200 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 300 group. Miami, FL 33131-2332 http://www.uscgpipeband.org Thank you shipmates, for counting me among your ranks! U.S. COAST GUARD PIPE BAND FOUNDERS & LEADERS EDITION Commander (CDR) “Andy” Anderson, USCG (Retired) - Founder CDR Andersen is a Founding member of the USCG Pipe Band and currently holds the leadership positions of Treasurer and Drum Major. No biography is available. Chief Warrant Officer (CWO2) Kevin Gilheany, USCG (Retired) - Founder I was born in New York City, the grandson of four Irish immigrants. Growing up in an Irish family meant observing the traditions including attending the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Fifth Avenue. I loved the bagpipes and noticed the sound made the hair stand up on the back of my neck! I once hinted to my mother about learning how to play, but her response was that it takes years to master and that I would have had to have started years ago. I believed her, even though I was only about ten years old. But I always thought how cool it would be to march up Fifth Avenue during the St. Patrick’s Day parade, playing the bagpipes. Another childhood dream of mine was to join the U.S. Coast Guard, which I did in January of 1983. A few years later I saw a picture of BMC Mike Mone in a Coast Guard piper’s uniform and thought to myself, that perhaps one day that could be me. In New Orleans in 1996, I found a Chief Radioman named Steve Young who agreed to give me lessons. My first band was the Pipes and Drums of New Orleans. In 2000, to support the many Irish organizations, we formed The New Orleans Irish Pipe Band, where I served as President and Pipe Major. For years I played at Coast Guard events wearing the uniform with whichever kilt was available, green or saffron. In 2001, a couple of years before I retired I decided to make the pilgrimage to the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven, Michigan. It occurred to me that we should get all the Coast Guard pipers and drummers who did what I did, together and make a band for the big parade. I put the word out on the Fred’s Place website and immediately received a huge response. I finally listened to what the Boatswain’s Mates had been telling me for twenty years, that it was easier to be forgiven than it was to get permission, and so I told the Grand Haven Group Commander, the Ninth District and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Vince Patton, what we were going to do. They all thought it was a great idea. The rest is history. But for me the best of all was March 17, 2008, when I marched up Fifth Avenue in New York playing the bagpipes in a Coast Guard uniform (above photo). I have been truly blessed, and I’m truly grateful to all the dedicated people who have kept the band going strong all these years.

No biography is available. Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4) Stephen Young, USCG (Retired) - Founder The skirl of the pipes has always fascinated me ever since my father took me to my first parade with bagpipes at the age five. “That’s the Ladies from Hell,” is what he told me. I was quite impressed because the memory is still with me, 55 years later. I was fortunate enough to be one of the founding members of the band, joining in June 2002, thanks to my shipmate, Kevin Gilheany. We did our first performance in Grand Haven that year with a minimal of players. I was Pipe Sergeant at the time moving up to Pipe Major a couple of years later. Though we wore different kilts (before the genesis of the CG Tartan) we had a huge impact the crowd. So much so we were invited the next year and I haven’t missed a year to date. I started piping in 1989 in, of all places, the ‘Jazz Capitol of the World’, New Orleans, Louisiana, under one Kay Ihara, who was the Pipe Major of the Pipes and Drums of New Orleans.

  • Traditional Music of Scotland
    Traditional Music of Scotland A Journey to the Musical World of Today Abstract Immigrants from Scotland have been arriving in the States since the early 1600s, bringing with them various aspects of their culture, including music. As different cultures from around Europe and the world mixed with the settled Scots, the music that they played evolved. For my research project, I will investigate the progression of “traditional” Scottish music in the United States, and how it deviates from the progression of the same style of music in Scotland itself, specifically stylistic changes, notational changes, and changes in popular repertoire. I will focus on the relationship of this progression to the interactions of the two countries throughout history. To conduct my research, I will use non-fiction sources on the history of Scottish music, Scottish culture and music in the United States, and Scottish immigration to and interaction with the United States. Beyond material sources, I will contact my former Scottish fiddle teacher, Elke Baker, who conducts extensive study of ethnomusicology relating to Scottish music. In addition, I will gather audio recordings of both Scots and Americans playing “traditional” Scottish music throughout recent history to compare and contrast according to their dates. My background in Scottish music, as well as in other American traditional music styles, will be an aid as well. I will be able to supplement my research with my own collection of music by close examination. To culminate my project, I plan to compose my own piece of Scottish music that incorporates and illustrates the progression of the music from its first landing to the present.

  • Medley Construction
    CONSTRUCTING A PIPE BAND MEDLEY FOR COMPETITION By P/M Brett Tidswell, National Piping and Ensemble Adjudicator HISTORY Pipe Bands used to perform March, Strathspey and Reel sets only in competition. In the 1950’s the Edinburgh Police under PM Donald Shaw Ramsay started to incorporate hornpipes and jigs into their repertoire and shortly after, the medley was introduced into competition to allow bands a wider variety of music and to give play to some of the smaller tunes that bands seemed to be overlooking. The medley has now developed into a complex structure rather than a few nice tunes thrown together. The intention of this article is to highlight some of the methods used to construct an entertaining and musical medley. The guidelines in no way are meant to inhibit the compiler/composer, however, good musical taste and some adherence to tradition are still called for when compiling a medley for competition. Scottish Power LENGTH There are obviously constraints when compiling a competition medley as distinct from a concert medley. The first of these is the length. Generally in higher grades the rules require a 5 – 7 minute medley and a lesser time in the lower grades. Ensure that you check the rules and test the length of the medley from the first roll until the end of the performance, at tempo. ©schoolofpiping.com Page 1 INTRODUCTION Again there is often a rule constraint here. Most call for two three pace rolls with the band stepping off on the first beat of the roll. If you are trying to be inventive and vary from this, it is best to check the rules of the Associations who have jurisdiction in the places you intend to compete.

  • February 2007 Newsletter
    Welcome to Vibrationdata Acoustics • Shock • Vibration • Signal Processing February 2007 Newsletter Greetings Feature Articles I encourage everyone to research his family history and to draw strength from his heritage, particularly in the face of adversity. Although my ancestors came to America from a number of European nations, my family name comes from Scotland. Clan Irvine is a lowland Scottish clan. The clan’s motto is: Sub sole sub umbra virens. This is a Latin phrase for “Flourishing in the sun and in the shade.” This month I pay honor to my Scottish ancestors via two articles on bagpipe music. The bagpipes are not exclusively Scottish, however. Historically, people throughout many regions of the world enjoyed bagpipe music. The Italian Zampognari, for example, continue this tradition. Sincerely, Bagpipe History page 2 Bagpipe Acoustics page 9 Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] The photo is of professional bagpiper Ken Smith. 1 Bagpipe History by Tom Irvine carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the manmade sound never equaled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig. On the other hand, a piper’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” or “Scotland the Brave” can stir the soul of some listeners, bringing tears to their eyes. Bagpipes throughout the World The bagpipe is commonly associated with music from the British Isles, particularly with the Celts of Scotland. The bagpipe originated, however, in the Middle East, some four thousand years ago, perhaps among shepherds who had ready access to the animal skins from which the bag was made. Figure 1.
