The bagpipe lends itself nicely to the drones used in some Indian music, connecting American marching band anthems to more spiritual compositions. “Music is a way to get closer to God,” said Kanu Patel, the band’s manager (and uncle of Tushar Patel). “They’re all songs. Once you get them on the bagpipe, it doesn’t matter what kind of song it is or what language. And the uniforms keep the spirit of where the bagpipe came from.”
