On time, in tune and ready to go
Kyle is a good communicator, arrived early and prepared, and did an admirable welcoming my guests with a variety of bagpipe tunes. My guests loved it and he was even willing to extend his performance for an additional 15 minutes. Thanks Kyle!
Kyle was on time, dressed perfectly and played well.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you so much, Dawn!
Kyle’s piping was exactly what we asked for, we loved his performance and so did all our guests. I would not hesitate to recommend Kyle’s services.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for the kind words, Alex!
I was looking for someone to play for approx 45 minutes and pipe all the guests in to the event. This did not happen. He played a few songs. Not even sure which ones. And only partial
Of each song. I think? It sounded like he was practicing the whole time. Not one song was complete. There was way too much time between songs. There was a long period between the songs. Maybe 5 minutes? Not what I have experienced in the past. I have always had someone who played for the entire time of the event. For the 45 minutes. I believe the piper played maybe a total of 20 minutes. With lots of time between each song. Too much time.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sorry that I did not meet your expectations that day. I will use your feedback to improve for future performances. If you are willing, I would appreciate a chance to have a conversation to discuss the event and hopefully come to an amicable arrangement.
Outstanding
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you, Stewart! Congratulations on your anniversary!
Our piper arrived a few minutes early and was quickly set up and playing for our birthday boy.
I will happily have him back for another event
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for the kind words, im glad everyone enjoyed the performance!
Arrived on time and did a great job. Our friend was thrilled!
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for the feedback, glad everyone enjoyed the music!
Timing worked out, it was not easy finding each other in a park but he was comunicative on the day of the event so we could lead him to the event. He was very professional and flexible - not easy to play around a surprise party especially when the guest of honor is late but he adapted and gave her a wonderful graduation ceremony music. We were very pleased with his performance. We definitely recommend him. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate our friend/colleague properly! She said we turned the worst graduation in the best graduation and you were a big part of it!
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you so much for giving feedback. Im so glad that everything worked out and that everyone was able to find the location without much trouble. Im so happy that my performance was well received and that the graduate enjoyed it. All the best to everyone.
I would like to thankyou for sending the piper to our event. Everyone who attended the event had a good time and had an awesome experience with the pipers music. I would recommend this piper.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for the review Yvonne, glad everyone enjoyed the music! Hope you have a good Christmas and new year!
Absolutely phenomenal
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for your fabulous rating Nicholas!
We had Kyle come and do the music for my Dad's memorial service. He was a lovely fellow with a high quality, professional talent. The music really made the day. I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone. He was easy to deal with and quick to respond to any inquiry.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us Kyle.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you Brenda, i appreciate your kind review. All the best to you!
I had to call to find out why he did not show. He was ill and found another piper to come play for us . I hope he is better now
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you for your review. I still feel bad about the inconvenience i caused you. Im so glad that my friend was available to cover for me at the last minute. Again, apologies for the incovenience.
Kyle was great! Easy to work with and very professional :)
We couldn’t have been happier with Kyle and how little direction he needed to come in and do such a great job.
Response from Kyle Banta (Banta Music):
Thank you so much for the review Maryam! It was a pleasure to be a part of the ceremony!
We were really happy with Kyle. He was very professional and put a lot of effort into his performance at our wedding.
Kyle was prompt, professional, and a wonderful delight to add to our family event! We highly recommend him!!!

An exciting, thrilling display of musical talent and entertainment.
I have over 20 years experience at a world stage. I have competed at the World Pipe Band Championships on several occasions, and have competed as a solo player all over the West coast of North America. I have taught bagpipes for over 10 years, and I play the majority of traditional pieces. I aim to be punctual, adaptable and professional.
If your desired performance time exceeds 20-30 minutes, please discuss the event with me (song requests, environment, etc).
Proper lighting will be an asset so spectators can see the outfit in it's full glory.
