The West Coast Tionól was held February 16-18, 2007. Thanks to everyone who was able to come out and join in the piping and parties. Here is a small sampling of photos from the weekend. (Thanks to Jim Spiva for volunteering to be the official tionól photographer!)

We started off on Saturday morning by having our teachers (Peter Heelan, Tim Britton, and Mickey Dunne) introduce themselves and play some tunes for everyone.

The pipers were divided intro four classes and the teachers rotated between the classes. Here is a glimpse into one of Peter Heelan's classes.

The weather was very cooperative (unlike 2005) and we were able to enjoy our Zachary's pizza outdoors. We did not have any problems getting rid of leftover pizza!
