HISTORY PAGE

The Pipes and Drums of The Anah Highlanders

 Under direction of Pipe Major; Paul Hazard, Drum Major; Tom Sawyer, Pipe Sergeant; Mike Grant and Drum Sergeant; Bill Kettle.

 Formed in 1976, the Highlanders are Anah Shrine’s premier unit. The Highlanders placed 7th among the Shrine Pipe and Drum bands at the Imperial session in Toronto and are five time Northeast Shrine Pipe and Drum Champions. The Highlanders have played for President George H. W. Bush, escorted Governors and other dignitaries. They have played the changing of the guards at the Citadel in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the opening “Parade Of The Clans” at the North American Pipe Band Championships at the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario.

 The Highlanders have played in parades, concerts, College Graduation and dedication ceremonies throughout the State of Maine, New England and Canada.

 The Highlanders will teach those who want to learn to play pipes or drums and recommend that beginners be diligent and not get discouraged. With hard work and dedication they will succeed.

 Raising money for Shrine Charities is a wonderful undertaking, but to do it in authentic Highland regalia, while marching to the skirl of the mighty Scottish Bagpipes and Highland Drums is a most noble and rewarding experience.

 The Highlander’s Motto is:

 “We Parade So Others May Walk”
