Pipe Major Campbell White

Campbell first became obsessively interested in piping after his grandfather took him to a Black Watch concert in 1989. Shortly thereafter, Campbell began lessons with Tom Griffin. Tom was pipe major of an 18th-century reenactment band in Lafayette, Indiana known as the 42nd Royal Highlanders. Campbell spent many years with the band, eventually becoming pipe major. He later had the idea to create a 'piping center' in rural North-Western Indiana, and in 1999 set out to form a modern competition pipe band. Campbell competes at the Grade 1 level, and plays with the Midlothian Pipe Band.

Lead Drummer Gerhardt Wigginton

Gerhardt Wigginton has drummed for many years, but is new to the Scottish style. That, however, hasn't slowed him down - he joined the band in 2005, and in 2006 he became lead drummer. He also decided to try his hand at solo competition. This summer, his first season out, he dominated the competition and was named 2007 Champion Supreme for Grade 4 Snare in the Midwest Pipe Band Association! He owns Gerhardt's Restaurant in Terre Haute, IN.

Registered Instructor Jess White

Although she doesn't like to admit it, Jess originally started out trying to learn pipes. However, when the band needed drummers in the Summer of 2003, she picked up a pair of sticks to help out... and hasn't put them down since! Jess has been a phone student of J. Reid Maxwell's since October of 2003, and also works closely with Jim Sim. She competes at the Grade 1 level and plays with the Midlothian Pipe Band. Jess enjoys teaching students and working with bands. When she's not drumming, she's busy running her own business, Ugly But Clean SoapWorks.

I get to drum today!!!
