Through the years
In October of 1980 in Montgomery, Illinois, USA , the Pipe Band was formed in the driveway of Craig “Mac” McCloud along with his buddy Dr. Jim Rising. The Band was later renamed the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums, and celebrated its 30th anniversary in October, 2010. Mac is still active in the band as Drum Major.
