Meet the Instructors!
I recently graduated from the band as the drum sergeant. I really enjoy passing my knowledge on to the younger people in the band, so I am now a snare instructor. To give some back story as to who I am, I am part of a military family, so I have been all over Canada. I am currently enrolled at the University of Manitoba studying engineering with the hopes to work on designing energy efficient homes. And of course, I have a passion for music. I started with learning the piano, and I couldn’t get enough of it. When I moved to Winnipeg, I decided to join a pipe band to meet some new people, and that has taken me to where I am today. My goal is to share my interest.
Kyle Kyrzyk started with the Lord Selkirk RFM Pipe Band as a snare drummer at the age of seven. He thinks fondly upon the countless band trips across the province of Manitoba and an amazing trip to Scotland in 2019. From 2021 to 2023, Kyle served as the Drum Sergeant, leading the drum corps through two competition seasons. After graduating from the band in 2023, Kyle is pleased to be continuing with the band as an instructor. You can often see him at practice wearing his white “Quabity Assuance” hat.
Peter began drumming at the age of 9, in the Invereilean Pipe Band in Montreal, a community pipe band that his father started in 1964. Highlights were playing in the Massed Bands at Expo 67, and the 1969 Grey Cup Parade in Montreal.
Peter is a member of the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band and has travelled to France, Ireland, Switzerland and many other cities in the United States. Peter also has many interests in the Scottish community, and is currently the President of The St. Andrew's Society of Winnipeg, Est. 1871.
Peter loves introducing drumming to the newest LSRFMPB students each year.
