Coming up this weekend, I’ll be reunited with all sorts of piping buddies for the Upper Potomac Pipers’ Weekend (abbreviated as UPPW) in Shepherdstown, WV.
What a great event this is—personally it feels like a breath of fresh air. Pipers from all over the U.S. head down to this once a year for a weekend full of workshops, jam sessions, and just plain fun. It’s always held during MLK weekend, which of course, tends to be a dry period for piping events seeing as it’s during the dead of winter.
