Tom Strelich is the Pipe Major of the Santa Barbara Sheriff Pipe & Drum Corps, a volunteer element of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department.  Local pipers and drummers started the band in 2007, and it is the only Law Enforcement pipe band between Los Angeles and San Francisco. On Friday, Tom paid us a visit! We learned about the history of the bagpipes and enjoyed a performance from Tom on the bagpipes as well as an Irish dance performance by the third and fourth-grade students.
