Thomas Knapp - Bass Drummer/Drum Major

 I have dreamed of playing the pipes all my life and thanks to some encouragement from a special someone, I took up learning the pipes two years ago. I have made some basic progress in playing and have a LONG way to go, but I am loving every minute of time spent practicing (not enough time in a day to practice like I should or want to), hanging out with the UPB members at practice and also on Band competition trips/parades/. I have not learned the word NO so I also act as back-up bass drummer and also Drum Major for the band....It is a wonderful experience and look forward to a long association with the UPB!!!
