Welcome to the official web site of the City of Hobart Highland Pipe Band.

Established in 1946, the Band is currently the largest pipe band in Tasmania with over thirty playing members. Over the past three years the Band has developed a unique teaching program and we actively encourage new members with a formalised process for induction and training. The band comes under the leadership of our experienced Pipe Major, Garry Fletcher and our new Drum Major, David Marshall.

We play at a number of community-based functions throughout the year, including ANZAC Day marches, Christmas parades in Hobart and Oatlands, and regional fairs at Bream Creek and Middleton. We offer a free structured tuition program for pipes and drums. In addition, the Band can provide solo pipers or mini-bands to add something special to any event whether weddings, funerals, corporate events, parties...

As an incorporated non-profit organisation, we rely on the success of fundraising events throughout the year to supplement the income from band engagements. If you would like to book or sponsor the Band, then please contact us.
