Since first competing in 1958, the pipe band has been promoted from Grade Four through to Grade Two. After a reconstruction phase, the pipe band has been divided into two competing bands one currently competing in Grade Three and the other, a feeder band which competes in Grade Four band for the purpose of teaching children from the local community. Resplendant in dress uniforms, complimented by Cameron of Erracht tartan, the band provides a stirring spectacle whilst playing on the march or in a circle. It's selection of music includes slow and quick marches, strathspeys and reels. The band performs at many competitions, charitable functions, as well as being part of a parade on Remembrance day every year.
Tuition is always available.
The band is currently self-financing, with income generated from private engagements, from our members and other activities. We are seeking sponsorship from any organisation or individual interested in promoting Sheffield, music and the pipe band itself. You don't need to have been in the Army to join us. We started competing in 1995. Practices are held every week from 7pm - 9pm approx at the Fire Station, Thirsk.
