Achievements/History of drumming career: George has played both tenor drum and bass drum, as well as being Drum Major, and only stepped down on the bass after the 2004-2005 season. He was a little shy coming up with information for his profile, but it's fair to say he's probably squeezed a fair bit into 50 plus years in pipe bands.
