The band celebrated Pipe Major Emeritus Larry Coleman's 94th birthday in downtown Honolulu on September 11, 2024. Larry can be considered the "Godfather of Piping" in Honolulu having formed and performed in several pipe bands. Larry started the existing Celtic Pipes and Drums as the "Shamrock" band in 1985 and continued piping until his retirement in 1999. Larry can be credited with teaching the majority of the band how to play the bagpipes. Happy birthday Larry and please accept the band's warmest wishes to you for many more.
