Barossa & District Pipe Band
The Barossa & District Pipe Band is a Scottish Pipe Band located in the historic and picturesque Barossa Valley in South Australia. Our aim is to bring Scottish Bagpipe music to the communities of the Barossa Valley, surrounding Districts and beyond. We are passionate about performing in our community in all types of events and would love to hear from you if you would like to have us at your next event.
We have playing members in our band from teenagers to much older years and age is really no barrier for anyone who wants to be involved.
If you have an interest in Pipe Bands, as an experienced piper or drummer, or if you want to learn piping or drumming. Even if you just have an interest in Scottish culture and would like to be a supporter or sponsor please reach out to us and we will find a role for you.
Our Rhythm & Beat
The band was out and about today marching in Freeling and Tanunda, as well as several solo pipers playing at various dawn services ranging from Gawler to Tanunda, and Kapunda to Nuriootpa.
We were extremely proud to honour our brave veterans, past and present, for their service.
Lest we forget.

WINTER FLAME 2025
"Winter Flame" is now firmly established as the band's biggest annual event and has grown even more impressive with additional pipe bands wanting to join in the festivities. Who wouldn't want to march proudly, wearing a kilt, in massed band formation playing pipes and drums with the atmospheric torches blazing?
The event is held mid-June to coincide with the Winter solstice celebrations and we seek the assistance of volunteers to act as bearers to carry the torches during the parade. As expected, this is a very important part of the parade and we require participants be over the age of 18 for safety reasons. We have responsible marshals in attendance before and after the parade, to handle the lighting and also extinguishing of the torches. If you are interested in being part of this unique event, please contact us via email at info@barossapipeband.com.au or message us here on FB. ... See MoreSee Less

The band received an email this morning from Barossa Co-op informing us of a very generous donation coming our way after applying in the recent round of sponsorship/donations. We would like to acknowledge and show our appreciation to the Barossa Co-op for their support of local community organisations.
The band is a non-for-profit organisation and we rely on donations and membership fees to keep us afloat.
We are the only pipe band in the Barossa and surrounds and we are often out and about in the community, playing for such events as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day commemorations, and you've probably seen us at a Christmas parade or three during the festive season.
If you would like to support the band, you can become an Associate Member for $25 p/a. Contact us here or email us at info@barossapipeband.com.au ... See MoreSee Less
