Bring Back Our
Best Bass Section Awards
On 8 March, 2008, a vote was carried at
the RSPBA AGM to abolish all Best Bass Section awards from major
pipe band championships. The decision has effectively consigned
almost 80 years of pipe band drumming history at every level to the
bin.
After consulting with a cast of pipe
band musicians, Scott Currie launched an online campaign called 'Bring
Back OUR Best Bass Section Awards', seeking the immediate
reinstatement of the awards. The campaign provides information and
links for interested pipe band musicians to find out about the
abolition of the awards and invites supporters to sign an online
petition in support of the campaign.
Please support
Bring Back OUR Best Bass
Section Awards by signing the online petition and asking your
band to register its objection to the abolition at your local branch
meeting. The support of every pipe band musician will be greatly
appreciated.

Totally Tenors - Total
Success
The Totally
Tenors 3 seminar held in London, Ontario on 21 & 22 April, 2007 was
hailed as a success by the 30 plus students who attended from Canada
and the USA.
Students from beginner to
professional level attended tenor drumming classes and ensemble &
composition presentations hosted by the invited instructors Scott
Currie, Tyler Fry and Stephen McQuillan.

The highlight for many of the
students was learning a full classic Alex Duthart drum fanfare while
basking in the sunny gardens of Fanshawe College.
Congratulations to organiser Penny
Shewfelt for her fine efforts and hard work in creating such a great
event.

tenordrummer.com To Log Off
After 6 years of working to bring the world's community of bass
and tenor drummers closer together,
tenordrummer.com is set to close down on 31 March, 2007.
The
Web site was founded by Shotts tenor drummer Scott Currie in
2001 and built by a team of experienced Grade 1 bass and tenor
drumming advisors including Trevor Buckley (Boghall & Bathgate
Caledonia), Mike Cole (Windsor Police), Tyler Fry (The House of
Edgar Shotts & Dykehead), Stephen Kilbride (ScottishPower), John
McFetridge (former FMM) and Stephen McQuillan (Boghall &
Bathgate Caledonia).
Initially created with the aim of being a focal point for
drummers seeking support, the site quickly developed into much
more than that and became a recognised brand for bass and tenor
drummers.
tenordrummer.com was a driving force behind the revival of
solo competition in the UK, helping to set the mandates for
competition, supplying adjudicators and sponsoring prizes. Most
recently, the group moved into instruction, adding the highly
successful Back to BASSics bass and tenor drumming workshop
to Glasgow's Piping Live! worlds week diary.
The editor Scott Currie said "As a group of enthusiasts,
we created the site with the intention of giving something back
to the art form by raising its profile throughout the pipe band
community. I think it is fair to say that we have played an
important role in influencing the development of the art form in
recent years and have definitely brought the the art form closer
together through fantastic networking facilities provided to us
by the late
Bob Dunsire and
Bob Norris.
The site has inspired many drummers to improve the standard of
their playing and has even inspired some to take up the art form
from scratch. The logistical and financial input of the Web site
has also helped bring solo competition back to Scotland and
introduced quality instructional events to Scotland similar to
those regularly held in North America. We are all proud of what
tenordrummer.com has achieved during the years and thank the
many musicians, bands and associations in the pipe band
community and our sponsors who have supported our work."
"Taking into account that tenordrummer.com
was essentially an enthusiast's hobby
site, it has far outgrown the time and energy that I
have available at my disposal to sustain its existence. Having
accomplished all of our goals and more, I felt that the time was
right to step aside."
The
Back to BASSics workshop has been held in Glasgow city centre
since 2005 and is usually announced around May/June prior to the
event in August. No plans have been completed in relation to a
2007 event at this time and discussions are at a very early
stage. "I would encourage past and prospective students to keep
an eye on
pipes|drums and the
Bob Dunsire
Forums for future announcements relating to the event."

Totally Tenors 3 Fast
Approaching
Scott will
join Stephen McQuillan and Tyler Fry at Totally Tenors 3 in London,
Ontario on 21 & 22 April, 2007 to instruct a two-day tenor drumming
workshop held in Fanshawe College.
In its third year, Totally Tenors has
become a fantastic focal point for tenor drummers from the Ontario
province, attracting around 50 drummers last year. This year's event
has been expanded to two days of classes following numerous requests
from the students.
There is still plenty of time to
enrol for the workshop. Visit the
Totally
Tenors Web site and contact organiser Penny Shewfelt to secure
your place.
