But before Jeppesen could play the bagpipe, he had to practice on a practice chanter for a year. A practice chanter, which resembles a recorder, is an instrument people practice their fingering techniques on.
a Topeka pipe band called "Pipers of the Plains." The band comprises of 14 members between ages 13 to 62.
"You have to do seven different things at once and for a beginner, it can be difficult," Jeppesen said.
The band plays gigs at the St. Patrick's Day parade, weddings and funerals.
He did not start playing on an actual bagpipe until last October.
Besides playing in front of Burt Hall, Jeppesen is also part of
"I like the camaraderie," Jeppesen said. "The members are a great bunch of guys and gals. Besides, it is the only pipe band in Topeta." Jeppesen said.
Topeka resident Steve Denny, who is also a member of the band, said he was impressed with Jeppesen's desire to learn.
"With most people, it takes about seven years before you can go out and play solo." Denny
said. "So a lot of people don't stay. But Eric is staying in it."
Although Jeppesen does not have his own bagpipe, he recently ordered one last month.
Next summer, Jeppesen said he hoped to compete in piping competitions at the Kansas City Scottish Highland Games.
"I just want to measure up my skill to see where I'm at," Jeppesen said. "It'll give you a good idea of how well you're doing and what you need to practice on."

Marlu Goodyear vice provost for information services, said that agencies in the past often requested access to students' e-mail accounts. She said the University kept 14-day backups of the e-mail system, and agencies with the proper court documents could gain access to stored e-mails.

Bestowing a covert policing role on the University worries David Burress, associate scientist at KU's Policy Research Institute and member of the Douglas County American Civil Liberties Union.
"This was an act that was passed without much concern for civil liberties," he said.
The act forces the University to become a police force in lieu of its primary role of teaching. Burress said.
He worries these laws could cause students to mistrust the
University, creating a gap between teachers and students.
The American Civil Liberties Union protests about 30 provisions within the act. These provisions include not only the student records laws affecting the University, but others which allow the government to detain aliens and immigrants without charge.
"It's the end of democracy." Burress said. "This is just totalitarian."

Five dead in weekend wrecks
The Associated Press
At least five people died in traffic accidents on Kansas roads during the Labor Day holiday counting period, authorities said.
Harold K. Power, 70, of Moundridge, was killed around 7:30 p.m. Monday when the car he was driving went off the side of a county road north of Canton and rolled. Power was thrown from the vehicle, said McPherson County Sheriff Larry Powell.

Cathedrals vie for 'first' title
That claim is rattling some nerves in Dodge City, where a new Catholic cathedral was dedicated nine months ago.
LOS ANGELES — When Cardinal Roger Mahony unveiled his towering Our Lady of the Angels this week, he hailed it as the first Roman Catholic cathedral to be dedicated in the United States in 30 years.
"Most of my priests just shake their heads and wonder where the news services are getting their information," a beffuddled Bishop Ronald Gilmore said.
The newly built Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe — with its copper roof that seems to rise above the surrounding plains — is the seat of Gillmore's 49-parish
Catholic Diocese of Dodge City
Mahony, who was among those attending Our Lady of Guadalupe's Dec. 9, 2001, dedication, said it didn't fit his definition of a cathedral.
"I was there and it was very nice," Mahony, dressed in crimson vestments, recalled after presiding over a three-hour dedication Mass at his modernist downtown cathedral Monday. "It was built primarily to be a parish and they designated it to be a cathedral as well."
Before the Los Angeles and Dodge City dedications, the 1971 opening of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco marked the last dedication of a Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States.
$ ^{14} $I remember using the phrase.
"The first new cathedral dedicated in the new millennium," Gilmore said. "So that is just a fact."
Mahony said some might "quibble,"but he believed a cathedral should be located in the heart of a city,where it could engage "in conversation with the public,political,civic and cultural community."
"So, in that classical sense, this is a cathedral in the heart of a city." Mahony said of his new cathedral, which is walking distance to City Hall and overlooks the Hollywood Freeway.
Built on part of an 80-acre parcel, Our Lady of Gundalupe is located in a rural setting on the outskirts of town, a response, Gilmore said, to recent population growth in that area of Dodge City.
Program draws art, music students
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Aspiring young artists have fresh inspiration as they return to school after spending a summer working alongside experienced masters.
Fifty-eight teenagers from the two-state metropolitan area were part of this year's Studio 150 program.
The 15- to 19-year-old participants worked as paid apprentices on projects ranging from AfroCuban drumming to painting on silk.
"Studio 150 offers a melting pot for young people from various backgrounds to work together and share in their diversity through artistic expression," said Joan Israelite, president and chief executive officer of the
Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City.
Alisha Gambino, a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, taught her apprentices about the history of mural painting and various techniques and styles. They designed their own mural to be installed at the Youth Opportunity offices at 18th and Vine Historic Jazz District.
The council works with the Kansas counties of Wyandotte and Johnson and the Missouri counties of Clay, Platt and Jackson.
Patrick Conway, who earned a master's degree in music from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory, formed an Afro-Cuban drumming and choral ensemble. The teenagers performed and recorded a compact disc.
Holly Swangstu, who also graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute, taught her apprentices to work with designs for silk scarves, ties and banners.
Also working with the young artists was Michael Smith, who founded the Kansas City Clay Guild and has been a visiting artist at Johnson County Community College and the University of Kansas.
Joe Wilson, director of programs for the Arts Council, said the youths gained valuable experience working with these artists and showed their own special talents.
"It was an opportunity to get together and expand their own understanding of each other despite their differences economically, racially and in gender," Wilson said.
