We are a non competing Street/Concert Band dedicated to teaching piping, drumming and highland dancing. Several members in the band successfully compete in solo competitions, and some are also part of competition bands outside of Sudbury.

We enjoy supporting our community by offering excellent musicianship at parades, ceremonies and functions, and in particular for our local Legions.

Please use the links below to navigate our site and visit our events page to find out what's coming up for the band.
