Sonoma, circa 1995

The Members of the Band

We are a relaxed group who are drawn together as much by the camaraderie of the band as by our shared interest in pipe music.

Our current membership of 31 boasts well over 296 years of combined piping and drumming experience.  We have members from such historic local bands as the San Francisco Caledonian Pipe Band, the Black Raven Pipe Band, and the San Francisco Boy Scout Pipe Band.
