No, it isn’t William Wallace and his clan plotting a takeover of Carlsbad this week. It’s just the 37th Annual Summer School for Bagpipers being held at the Army and Navy Academy. This summer 72 students will be in town until June 23, many of them kids.
This year’s camp features 17 youngsters, in part because organizers received $3,000 in youth scholarships from the North County Scots organization, John Keys said. This is the 14th year the school has operated in Carlsbad, but it has long been housed in beautiful spots — previous locations include Santa Cruz, Pebble Beach and Idyllwild.
But don’t worry about the incessant squealing noise. The school has “strict regulations regarding when and where” the students can play their pipes. . . Thank God.
