The Barossa & District Pipe Band proudly wears the MacCallum Ancient Tartan which was chosen by the first Pipe Major from his own family heritage. The MacCallum Ancient Tartan is seen in our kilts and is also part of the wallpaper used on this website. The cost of the uniform is quite considerable and members have been fundraising and performing to assist with the cost of purchasing the components of the uniform which is always an ongoing expense.
Ghillie Brogues
Ghillie Brogues are the traditional footwear worn with today’s highland dress.
Glengarry
The band wears the Glengarry as it’s traditional headress.
The Glengarry Hat’s history is closely linked to Scottish military and clan tradition. It was originally worn by Scottish Highland Regiments, but gained in popularity during the early nineteenth century. The hat’s unique design allowed soldiers to wear and remove it easily, even when wearing a kilt.
Hat Badge
The band wears a very unique hat badge on the Glengarry and as a logo on our bagpipe covers, which was designed and manufactured to aptly represent the Pipes and Drums we play with a reference to the Grapevines which are symbolic of the famous South Australian Barossa Wine region in which we are fortunate to live.
Our Rhythm & Beat
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
