TJ White
Leadership Role - Pipe Major
I'm currently employed as the Driver-Messener for Nassau County Surrogate's Court in Mineola. I played the Tenor Saxophone throughout middle school and high school. After I graduated I dabbled in piano as well, but I put that on the back burner to focus on bagpipes. Using my vast musical knowledge and the expert tutelage of the Amityville Pipe Band I can now proudly call myself a bagpiper.
Sean Lynch
Sean joined the Amityville Highland Pipe Band in 2006. After spending a couple of years in the color guard while learning to play the bagpipes, he became a member of the pipe rank. His favorite parades are the St. Patrick's Day parades in Montauk, NYC and Huntington. He also enjoys the Scottish Games at Old Westbury Gardens. This band provides a great opportunity for someone like Sean; someone who did not play an instrument or know how to read music prior to joining. Being a member of the color guard and having a pipe/drum instructor available, to us gave new members the opportunity to play bagpipes.
Roland Davidson

Musical Background – I learned the pipes when I was 14.
