Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums present the Rumblethumps Concert at 7:00pm on Saturday, October 9th, 2021, at St. John Lutheran Church, 440 E. Elmwood Avenue, in Palmer, Alaska, (on the corner of Elmwood and S. Eklutna St; 3 blocks East of the Palmer Library.)
After winning 1st place People’s Choice Awards in both band competition events at the 2021 Alaska Scottish Highland Games, and after winning 1st Place in Freestyle Musical Ensemble at the Summer 2021 World Online Piping & Drumming Competition, Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums are BACK, and BETTER THAN EVER!
The Rumbledethumps Concert promises to deliver yet again a brilliant evening of entertainment by an award-winning local Pipe Band, with piping and drumming from the entire ensemble, as well as solos, and smaller groups of pipers and drummers within the Band. Special Guests will also include a performance from the Mat-Su Valley’s own Arctic Thistle Highland Dancers! What a great way to spend an Alaska autumn evening!
Based in Eagle River, Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums are very active in the greater Anchorage area, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and throughout South-Central Alaska, and have great fun teaching, performing, and competing. The Rumblethumps Concert is one of several community concerts presented throughout the state by Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums, and is regarded by the Band as a fun way to "get this party started," at the beginning of our performance season.
Prepare to be amazed! If you love bagpipes or pipe bands this Concert is a must-see! The Band are prior winners in Pipe Band Competition at the Alaska Scottish Highland Games, and several members have won solo awards in piping and drumming, both here at home, and internationally, and in online competitions!
Admission to the Concert is free, but donations are always sincerely appreciated, with proceeds to benefit Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums’ Education Fund, and the church youth group.
