Members of The Queensland Irish Association Pipe Band

	Drum Major Mace	David	Richo is a loud voiced DM who considers barking out orders for the band to play a new tune, and selling chicken breast fillets as all in a day's work.
	Pipe Major Pipes	Gricey	Bruce Grice is the leader of the QIAPB and as webmaster will not allow anything funny or incriminating said about him here. However, look here for this stuff.
	Drum Sergeant Side Drummer Percussionist Bodhran Player Anything you hit	Buzz	Born in Madagascar in the 18th century, Colin Innes AKA Buzz is a institution in Queensland and evidenced by his winning of the Nobel Prize for Drumming in 1995. Living legend and drumming go-to man.
Pipers
	Pipe Sargeant Pipes	Barry	Barry's weird smile belies a sensitive soul who enjoys long walks and chick flicks. He can also drink and smoke his way into the pants of any female in the planet.
	Pipe Corporal Piper Techno-Piper Bodhran	Geoff	Hailing from WA this imported piper has a reputation for nailing down anything that moves with his upholstery skills. Best false fingered C in the business.

	Pipes	Andy	Andy is a stalwart of the band whose long drives (hot laps) to practice from Toowoomba are made in record time due to a love for V8 engines.

	Pipes Small Pipes Even Smaller Pipes	Andrew	This guy is a joke.
	Pipes	Eeamon	Eamon as 'El Presidente'of the QIA wields power firmly but fairly and is responsible for 90% of our bar tabs. Keeps the Irish pipe music tradition alive and well.
	Pipes	Pam	Pam's dedication to practice borders on the fanatical, but is reflected in her majestic Mo Ghile Mear solo. Fond of Guinness and Corona though never mixed together.

	Pipes	Mavis	Mavis is the most organised or all the pipers and whose efforts to raise funds always succeed in spite of others' laziness. An organising dynamo.

	Pipes Mace	Simon	A New addition from Kiwi Land, you can tell he's from NZ from the rigorous maintenance of his plumage.
	Pipes Bodhran	Judy	Judy is a guaranteed source of Jamesons donations from her hip flask. Her love for bling is well known however this never detracts from her piping.
