Charleston Bagpiper Coreyanne Armstrong

Click on the "Military Ceremonies" link to read about specific instances when Coreyanne has provided the bagpipes at military events such as funerals, memorial services, changes of command, and balls.

Other "solo" piping gigs from the past rarely have pictures, since the focus is not normally on the piper. Coreyanne has piped for funerals in Hawaii and Charleston, providing music as the family leaves after the ceremony and also as they arrive at the gravesite.

Additionally, when piping at weddings, Coreyanne has played the traditional "Highland Cathedral" accompanied by church organ as well as processionals, recessionals, and bits of the ceremony such as the unity candle lighting. She can help provide you with options for the best use of a piper during weddings.

Each year in celebration of the birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns, Scots worldwide have "Burns' Night" Dinners. Coreyanne has been honored to pipe for the processing of the haggis as well as during the riotous singing of Burn's poems put to song both on the island of Kaua'i in Hawaii and on the island of Albion (Great Britain.)

Coreyanne has also taken part in small ensembles, performing for Christmas concerts accompanied by a brass band, and traveling pub to pub for various Celtic celebrations in California, Hawaii, England, and South Carolina.
