Meet the Leadership
Pat Edgar-Brown
Head Instructor
Pat is a pivotal member of the band. She has been involved with the band since before she could even get her hands around a chanter. Now she leads our senior band, and coordinates all other levels of instruction.
Liz Trudell
Instructor
Liz has been playing for a while, despite her youthful appearance. She is here to make your chanter technique shine, keep you grounded, and help you grow as a musician!
Lauren Olsen-Brown
Pipe Major
Lauren leads our senior band, enjoys playing fun music that's not considered traditional, and will always encourage you to play your best!
Show Support
There's no way the Rose and Thistle Pipe Band could keep going without the ongoing support from our community. Your cheers and support when we're on parade or performing are what keeps us going. If you want to support the band monetarily, you can attend our annual Ceilidh and Silent Auction!
