My name is Michael Brandt. I am a father of 2 girls.  I have been playing the pipes for 4 years.  I have been a DOJO member for almost 3 years, primarily taking Andy F. night/afternoon classes.  I am a Gr 4 solo competitor.  The 2019 season was my first competitive season.  I am the P/S of my current pipe band.  I have attended several pipe schools and workshops and am highly motivated to learn.  I am a daily visitor to the DOJO and I am looking forward to the upcoming year.  Nice job with the new site and congrats on your success.  Thank you.
