Coastal Carolina Shields Welcomes New Pipers and Drummers

Coastal Carolina Shields Pipes and Drums is welcoming pipers and drummers in the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand area of South Carolina, with a recruitment invitation aimed at police, fire and first responders.

The band describes itself as a service-oriented 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to Irish and Scottish heritage. It was founded by experienced musicians who relocated to the Grand Strand from northern bands, including the New York Shields Pipeband and the Westchester County Police Emerald Society Pipes & Drums.

New players welcome

The recruitment poster welcomes all skill levels, with no experience necessary and training provided. Adults and teenagers aged 16 and over are invited to enquire.

Members can learn traditional Scottish and Irish pipe-and-drum music and perform at parades, festivals, Highland games and community events around Myrtle Beach.

For information, auditions or joining, contact band manager Bill McMillen on 631-455-1766, or email wmcmil5317@aol.com.
