new drumming students to the fold. |

Roger has picked up the bass drumming duties full time to add some
stability to that area of the band, and James has come a very long
way in a very short time to become one of the top bagpipers in the
band. |

Damien
Murray |

Damien Murray came to the ACPB in 2002, and quickly established
himself as one of the group's best bagpipers. Throughout 2003, Damien
could be found every Wednesday night playing his pipes before
practice, and at every parade right in the front row. Leading by
example, his exuberance has begun to rub off on other members of the
band. |

Brian
McCutcheon |

After taking over Band Manager duties from Jim Ryan, Sr. in 2002,

seamless transition to this new era in the ACPB. Like Members of the
Year before him, Brian rarely missed any band events or practices, and
has become a reliable player in the Pipe Corps. |

Marty Rowe |
| |
Our current Pipe Major, Marty proved in 2001 why he is truly a
leader in the group. He showed throughout the year that the

achievable goals, and his efforts illustrated that which we expected
from all members. |

Patton |
| |

short time Tthe dedication he exhibited was nearly unmatched in 2000,
rarely missing any practice or performance. |

Maxson |
| |
The first snare drummer to receive this award, Lane has been a
