The purpose of the Father of Waters Pipes and Drums is to propogate and teach the arts of Scottish Highland piping and drumming through organized rehearsals, teaching sessions and performances. We welcome all Mississippians who are interested in learning these ancient and time-honored arts, that the communities and State of Mississippi might be enriched with a knowledge and sense of our Celtic heritage.
