Under the leadership of Pipe Major Alex Graham, and with a creative repertoire planned for the upcoming 2027 season, we’re looking for experienced pipers and drummers to bolster our ranks and take our performances to the next level.
We’re seeking up to 4 pipers, 2 snare drummers, and 1 tenor drummer to add to our healthy roster and join our ambitious band.
If you’re not yet at competing level, you’re still more than welcome to get in touch. We have several community events and other non-competitive engagements throughout the year, and we offer tuition for newer players, subject to availability of our tutors.
If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our facebook page, speak to an existing member of the band, or get in touch with our leadership team to discuss further.
