DORIS JELINEK
Bagpiper / 2009 Band Member of the Year

Doris began piping at the ripe old age of 37, and it has been three long years of hard work and determination. She learned through the American Celtic organization in 2005 under the tutelage of Scott Gajdos. She was inspired from the beautiful sound of the pipes at a September 11 funeral. From then on, she began the long, long journey toward playing. She plays a set of War-Mac pipes acquired from her instructor. She was hoping that they would be lucky, but it seems that Scott took his luck with him onto his brand new set of pipes!

Doris lives in Wantagh with her husband Keith and three great kids, Timothy, Matthew and Holly.  Her favorite tune is Highland Cathedral. Her favorite memory with the band was passing out at a Babylon assembly and taking the flag down with her.
