Jesse Gragg

I live in McMinnville, Oregon and started taking piping lessons. I received scholarships (through the PNW Clan Gregor Chapter) to attend the Highland Musical Art Summer School of Piping & Drumming. I have competed in the Oregon Pipers competitions as well as several highland games bagpipe contests, performed at the Jacobite Robert Burns Suppers for 5 years, and at the Kirken Service at the First Presbyterian Church in Salem in 2008. I have entertained at the Clan Gregor’s Annual General meeting and Annual Picnics.

 

I have been in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for 8 years and am working towards my Eagle Rank. I have performed at various flag ceremonies, reville and taps ceremonial events for Veterans and Memorial days. For the last two years I have performed in the McMinnville Relay for Life events, educate students about the bagpipes at Edwards Elementary School and performed at a benefit for the Head Start Program.
