Pipe Major

David Spurlock began his piping career at the age of 15 in Rockville, Maryland. As one of the founding members of his high school pipe band he became its Pipe Major in his junior year. Dave owes his piping expertise to his early tutors: Dr. Richard Scott Blair, Sandy Jones, Bill Logan, and Frank Early. All were and still are notable figures in the piping community. In 1994, he came to Brevard County and joined the Oceanside Pipes and Drums. In 1997, he became the band’s Pipe Major and changed the name of the band to the City of Melbourne Pipes and Drums. Dave is an avid competitor in Highland Games’ piping competitions and consistently garners top awards. He is available for a wide range of piping services throughout Brevard and neighboring Counties. These include weddings, funerals, special events, parties, etc. In 2016, our band name changed again to the Space Coast Highlanders.
