We are always looking for new members, and we welcome both beginning and advanced pipers and drummers of all levels. Even if you’ve never played the pipes and drums before we will work with you and help you learn. We want you in the Band! It doesn’t matter what your background is, who you are, or where you’re from. You don’t have to be Scottish to love and perform Highland music.
Our lessons are free, we only ask that you bring your enthusiasm in learning, and our hopes are that you will perform with us once you’re ready. We are a friendly bunch of folks from all walks of life, and we offer excellent instruction in a friendly, supportive, and learning environment. We do this for the love of Scottish music and the enjoyment of performing it for others.
If you’re interested in coming to one of our rehearsals to observe, meet us, and talk to us, please do. If you’re not interested in learning to play an instrument but just want to listen to the Band, that’s fine too. Our rehearsals are open to the public and we encourage people to attend a rehearsal.
