History

In late 2008 a hand-full of enthusiastic people got together and decided to form a new pipe band on the East Rand. The band began with two competent pipers and a few learners and one bass drummer. Practicing on a Saturday morning in a small class room at a local church, they trained up a small pipe band which had its first public performance in March 2009 at Mugg & Bean, Festival Mall.
