Drumming Display
Posted by Sharon on February 27th, 2008
Last week I posted about Carl Williams, the new drumming tutor working with the East Lothian Piping and Drumming Trust. Yesterday Carl gave an fantastic drumming display in the school hall. Although this was held at lunchtime, around 50 pupils arrived to hear Carl play. Carl outlined what he expects from his students, this includes not only commitment to practicing their instrument but also to their school work. In addition, he informed the pupils that next week auditions will be held in the school hall and all pupils interested in learning to play in the school drum corps will be asked to take part in this audition. It was great to see so many pupils showing an interest and I look forward to hearing them next week. The picture above shows Carl during the display and was taken by Jim Hunter, a colleague of mine and very talented photographer.

I taught Carl to play drums around 1978/79 when he was knee high to a grasshopper. He appeared at one of the pipe band practices wearing short trousers!! I think at the time he had just been thrown out of the scouts!!! Don’t tell him I told yer!!
