Recruitment - Calling all Pipers & Drummers

The bands work hard to learn new exciting music to perform at a variety of events from small evening engagements, outdoor gala events, local Highland Games and Contests, to huge international events such as Scottish International Football Games and of course, the World Pipe Band Championships.

2009 sees the 25th Anniversary of the Junior Band. We hope to get as many people as possible who have ben associated with the band to get back in touch, and culminate the year with a night of celebration on Saturday 26th September. The junior band competes in the Juvenile grade, and is fundamental in teaching the traditional arts of Great Highland Bagpipes and Snare, Tenor and Bass drums to aid the continuation of Piping and Drumming in the North-East. Focussed on the competition scene, the band also takes part in many exciting events including Highland Games, Concerts, Festivals and Ceilidhs. The band has won many titles including 1997 and 2008 Novice/Juvenile World Pipe Band Champions.
