The North Texas Caledonian Pipes & Drums have been an organization in North Texas for decades. Over the past few years they have seen a dramatic increase in the public's enthusiasm for the pipes and drums. Growing membership has enabled them to create an affiliated band, the Allan Ballantyne Memorial Pipe Band. Both Bands compete at various Highland Games, bringing back numerous awards. The future looks bright for piping and drumming in Dallas/Fort Worth. It truly is 'A New Beginning'. Find this album on amazonmusic.
