We're Going To
Take "The Pipes & Drums" to a
Whole New Dimension
Billy Dart's new vision
reaches very deep into the imagination to fulfill the
passion. Out of a dream came a Celtic Lion,
roaring
from the clouds like
Thunder. This Celtic Lion is our symbol, it represents
the passion of sharing the "Gift" of bagpipe
music
and True Strength & Honor.
This new venture is more
than just a pipe-band, it is a journey. Through Celtic
Thunder we are creating the first Youth Pipe-Band
in Massachusetts. This
is a challenge which is being met head on. There is no
greater joy than to kneel down to help a child rise,
by way of teaching.
We will also be providing
Free lessons to family members and adults wishing to learn
the bagpipes or drums. The primary focus will
be on Fun and Family.
The vision is simple; A
Youth Pipe-Band marching in parade. Children taking
their gift of music and sharing it with our elderly in
nursing homes and senior
centers, sharing it with other young children in hospitals,
and with our veterans in soldiers homes.
Performing in schools and of
course having fun with other kids. And through this
will arise a Youth Pipe-Band Competition Team
within Celtic Thunder for
the kids who want to compete. 2008 will be a year of
challenges, learning and having Fun.
If you close your eyes and
imagine a sound of rolling thunder with the sound of
the great Highland bagpipes whispering within it,
you may notice a Celtic Lion
approaching, Have No Fear, for you will be embraced by the
passion of Celtic Thunder.
