Teaching Kids About Bagpipes & Kilts
Having small kids of his own, Wheaton is involved at his kid’s schools and enjoys teaching kids about bagpipes, kilts, and the Scottish heritage. His "school routine" lasts for about 20 minutes and involves an overview of Scottish heritage, an explanation of the outfit and insturment, Q&A session, and some humor and jokes to keep the kids entertained. Wheaton’s participation at a school function or assembly is a great addition and provided an engaging and fun learning experience for all.
