Celtic Pipes and Drums of Hawaii celebrate 40 years
HONOLULU (KHON2) – Deeply roots in the Celtic tradition are the sights and sounds of bagpipes.
What's next for Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami's political future?
For this Saint Patrick's Day, we explore this musical tradition with a local community right here on Oahu — the Celtic Pipes and Drums of Hawaii.'We're 40 years old this year. And we started out as the Shamrock Pipes and Drums and over the years it evolved into the Celtic Pipes and Drums. We represent the Honolulu Police and Fire Department, and City and County on occasion,' said Pipe Major Tina Yap.

'We're bit of a white elephant here in Hawaii. Even though Hawaii has a rich Scottish history, we're not a halau, we're bagpipes in Hawaii. So it's a bit unusual. But it's been wonderful. We're very much like an ohana, like family.'
