šµ 5 Fun Facts You Might Not Know About a Pipe Band šµ
(Yes, we do know we're loudā¦ and proud of it! š)
1ļøā£ We donāt start on bagpipes!
New pipers begin on a āpractice chanterā ā basically a quiet mini pipe that lets us learn our notes and embellishments without terrifying the neighbours.
2ļøā£ Drummers arenāt just keeping time.
Snare, tenor, and bass drummers are each doing something completely different ā together. Itās like musical multitasking with sticks, flourishes, and flair! š„š„
3ļøā£ Our uniforms are basically wearable history.
Tartan kilts, hose flashes, sporransā¦ each piece has tradition behind it. Yes, even that funny thing hanging from the waist has a purpose.
4ļøā£ We tuneā¦ a LOT.
Before every performance, thereās a sacred ritual of tuning. Expect lots of squeaky sounds, confused looks, and a ājust a little bit moreā from the Pipe Major.
5ļøā£ Weāre one big family.
From kids learning their first notes to veterans whoāve played for decades ā community pipe bands like ours thrive on camaraderie, laughter, and shared love for the music. ā¤ļø

The band braved the chilly Barossa air this morning starting around 7.30am. We were playing to cheer on and encourage all the other brave souls who were running in the Barossa Marathon. At least the sun was shining on us all!! ... See MoreSee Less
