“A rare sound, not often heard at the First Baptist Church in Georgetown, is the snap of a snare drum and howl of bagpipes.Â
It’s not a special church service, but a gathering of first responders — learning from the best.  To be the best, it all starts with fundamentals. That’s what firefighters — turned students — learned Friday in this workshop.
The one day symposium included members from 26 fire departments from across the state — some from as far away as Lubbock, Denton and Corpus Christi.
‘The bagpipes are not a instrument where you can find instruction for in any city. Luckily, we are fortunate enough to have Georgetown to be able to put on this conference for us — for people like us from College Station who don’t have world class training in College Station,’ said James McNeely, College Station firefighter and bagpiper.”
