| Duane Dickson, bagpipes |
 |
Duane Dickson has played Scottish Highland bagpipes for over 35 years. He
has played in several competition pipe bands in the Northeast Ohio area. In
1979 he joined the MacGregor Pipe Band of Massillon, and the next year became
pipe major leading the band from Grade 4 to the Grade 3 North American Championship
in 1985. Duane entered and placed in many solo competitions from 1979 through
1986, ending in Grade 1. He has also competed in the Clan Moffat Pipe Band
and the Western Reserve Pipe Band. He joined Cleveland's North Coast Pipe Band
in the fall of 1993, and has competed in the band throughout the United States
and Canada, and twice at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Scotland.
Duane also plays Scottish smallpipes, a mellower, quieter sounding bellows-blown
bagpipe which can add ambiance to quieter moments in your ceremony.
Duane offers a choice of kilts to wear for your event in case you prefer a certain look or want him to color coordinate with your wedding colors. He also has two different jacket styles: a Prince Charlie jacket that is worn with a tuxedo shirt and bow tie for formal occasions, and an Argyle jacket worn with a white shirt and necktie for less formal events. Any of the kilts can be worn with either style jacket. Just let him know if you have a preference.
A tune list and demo CD are available by request to Jerry Bruno Productions.
