Pipe Major Robert Wallgren
Robert was born in 1985 and has played
pipes with the band since 1995, when P/M Mathias Cramér started teaching
him. In fact Robert has grown up steeped in Scottish culture, since his parents
have been country and highland dancers for many years. They have also engaged
themselves in the band in may ways.
A few years ago Robert competed one season in grade one with Chris
Armstrong and David Urquhart Travel.
Professionally, from 2009 Robert acts as a deputy assistant Drum Major for the military band of the Swedish Royal Armed Forces.
Robert Wallgren's chosen pipe sergeant is former P/M Krister
Bergman. Our grade 4-band is run by former P/M Mathias Cramér.
