What is a pipe band
be suitable for?
Pipe bands, quintets or solo players attend a huge variety of
engagements throughout the year. Below are listed suggestions
for the use of bagpipes and drums, but only the imagination
limits eventual performances. If you need pipe band music for
your engagement please contact us.
What can I get?
We will tailor the engagement to suit your specific needs. You
can get everything from a solo piper to a large band with 20-25
bagpipers and drummers.
We are delighted to assist with information and advice on what
fits your engagement. The number of guest, the surroundings and
whether to play inside or outside are important factors to keep
in mind when deciding on the size of band.
-
A large band: App. 20-25 pipers and drummers
-
A mini-band: 4 pipers and 2 drummers
-
A trio: 2 pipers and 1 drummer
-
A solo player: 1 piper
How do we look?
A marching pipe band wearing full uniform is an impressive
sight. We always perform in traditional Scottish attire with
kilts, knee stockings and the classic cap (a glenngarry). The
colors of the bagpipes and drums match the uniform, and provide
a complete finish. Experiencing a pipe band makes an
impression both for the eye and ear.
How much does it
cost?
Our prices vary depending on how many players are needed, how
long they are to play, travel distance, etc.
