About Us

Parramatta RSL Caledonian Pipe Band is a cherished institution with roots tracing back to 1944. A band steeped in Scottish tradition and a storied history of excellence in various grades at contests that has evolved into a social band, we proudly uphold the timeless tradition of donning full military dress for our performances, including feather bonnets, military tunics, plaids, and sporrans.

From the solemnity of the Sydney Anzac Day march to the lively atmosphere of the Bundanoon Highland Gathering, and the esteemed ceremonies of the RSL, Masonic Lodges, and Bathurst Highland Society events, our band brings the stirring melodies of the Highlands to life.

We extend a warm invitation to all who share our passion for music and camaraderie. Whether you’re drawn to the haunting notes of the great highland bagpipes or the rhythmic pulse of the drums, we welcome you to join us on Thursday evenings at 7 pm in Rooty Hill for tuition and group practice.

If you’re ready to embark on a journey of musical discovery and community, reach out to our band secretary for more information on how to become a part of the Parramatta Caledonian Pipe Band family to create memories, forge friendships, and celebrate the timeless allure of Scottish culture.
