Carnegie Mellon University’s bagpiping program traces back to the Scottish American heritage of the university’s name, Andrew Carnegie. Its commitment to an instrument that might best be described as “the sound of sick cats being tortured” makes CMU the top destination in the U.S for aspiring bagpipers. As the only University to offer a Master’s degree in the bags, CMU will draw three bag pipers from its class every year. Three might not sound like a lot, but putting all of them in a room together with their instruments and uniforms and I guarantee they will make a scene.
