    USNA Pipe Band's sporrans

    I was recently given the opportunity to make 35 military style sporrans for the United States Naval Academy Pipe Band. I felt like it would be a wonderful way to partially repay the debt I feel I owe to the great kids who will soon be fine Naval and Marine officers! I got to present them with the sporrans on Dec. 11. They actually had them on when they marched onto the feild at the Army-Navy game.
    My daughter is tenor drummer in the band and I am very proud of her!

    Quite an honour Donnie - you should be quite rightly proud.

    Any chance of some more pics? Please

    Regards

    GO NAVY!!! Win your bowl game!! Hopefully we'll be able to see the pipeband at the bowl game. We just saw glimpses of them at the Army v NAvy game.

    I want tickets for the Navy Notre Dame game in 2010.
