Changes

The '''McGuire's Pipe Band''' is a group of more than a dozen musicians who play bagpipes and drums at several dozen annual functions, including the [[McGuire's Irish Pub 5K Run]] and [[Evenings in Olde Seville Square]]. The current pipe and drum majors are [[Wayne Willis]] and [[Michael ZipayClark]], respectively.

The band was founded in [[1988]] by [[the late Jack Dasinger]] under the sponsorship of [[McGuire's Irish Pub]]. Dasinger's band, the [[Hadji Highlanders]], had begun playing at McGuire's after losing their gig at the [[Hadji Shrine Temple]].

Basinger Dasinger served as bandleader Pipe Major until [[2001]], when [[Sam Varney]] took over as pipe majorthe role. He Jack remained general manager of the band until his death on [[July 16]], [[2003]], when his ultralight plane crashed at the [[Coastal Airport]] in [[Beulah]]. Varney is the band's current general manager.

The Pipe Band has released two recordings of their music, ''Live From McGuire's'' and ''The Pipes of Christmas'', which are available in the restaurants' gift shops. The group performs in traditional Scottish dress attire wearing the MacDonald Lord of the Isles tartan. The Band can be booked for special occasions as an ensemble, as a smaller group or just a solo piper. Please contact Sam Varney via the band's webpage for availability.
