Juneau piping enthusiasts Rob McMahon and Ladd Macaulay
formed Stroller White Pipes and Drums about 1975. The band was named after Stroller White, the famed Klondike era journalist. Mt. Stroller White, the peak to the left of the Mendenhall Glacier was named after him. Both the mountain and the glacier are shown on our band logo.
Through the years, the band has focussed on
growth in performing abilities, in numbers and in expectations. We wear the Ancient
MacLean of Duart tartan. We're proud of our work to educate and train pipers,
drummers and Highland dancers of all ages to deliver quality cultural
performances. Community events and celebrations find us marching and
dancing. We've been known to play a strain of Amazing Grace
as a reflective and emotional tribute. Collectively and individually we
compete in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and beyond. And, oh yes, there's
been a ceilidh or two!
