Rob Johnston - Piper
I would like to welcome everyone to the Prince George Dance Festival. My name is Rob Johnston, and I reside in Richmond, BC. I began piping at the age of 5, but practicing interfered too much with playing street hockey outside, so that only lasted a few short months. After being willed my grand-fathers bagpipes however, I could not just leave them collecting dust in a box in a closet. I started piping again and haven't stopped since. I began piping for dancing at the age of 16, and have been fortunate enough to travel extensively throughout Canada and the U.S.A. I have piped at local regional championships, Provincial Championships, State Regionals, the U.S.I.R. Open Championships, and the InterProv Canadian National Championships. I hope all competitors have an excellent weekend, and I wish you all good luck. |
