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
Big day for the band today. Started the day at Freeling with a Dawn Service for the band. Solo pipers representing the band also attended Gawler, Tanunda and Nuriootpa Dawn services. We accompanied the Tanunda RSL at their march mid-morning and then played this afternoon at the ANZAC ceremony preceding the Senior's match between Angaston and Nuriootpa and then again at half-time. Also played a few tunes in betweeThe Clubhousehouse. Thank you to all the lovely comments and feedback received from attendees at all these venues. We are proud to honour our veterans for their service. Lest We Forget. ... See MoreSee Less
