The Black Sheep

We are a group of pipers and drummers with various backgrounds and experiences who enjoy the sound of the highland pipes and drums.  We came together to maintain and build our musical talents.  Our mission is the learning and playing of celtic music to be enjoyed not only by us, but by others as well.  

For some of us the piping path has been long and varied, while still others of us are just getting started.  We only require that members of the group have a good time while particpating in any way.  If you wish to learn more about playing highland bagpipes or drums, please contact us.

Practices are held every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. at Willoughby Fire Station #1, 37000 Euclid Avenue, Willoughby, Ohio. Experienced players and prospective students are encouraged to stop by, say hello, and learn more about The Black Sheep.
