The Mt. Great Highlanders aren't a large-scale band or even a rock group, but a small group of baggie players interested in touch with their Scottish ancestry.

A bagpipe is played by blowing through the blow-pipe until the bag, which is held under the left arm, is filled. There are three "drones" or pipes that produce sustained and constant notes, each one octave lower than the other.

Sprackland said most members were of Scottish ancestry and the group was an indirect effort to get back to their roots. He said that when he met with members of the group, however, was the music itself.
