The Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums Band

If you are already a Piper or Drummer, why not come on over and join the Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums band, join our Band, and play with an amazing group of people.  What does that mean?  Well, this is a great opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and improve existing ones, gain confidence and to work as a part of a great team who play at a wide range of national and international events including private events, major sponsorship events, charitable and civic events.

If you can't play already, but would like to learn to play the bagpipes, snare, tenor or bass drum then we offer free tuition for individuals and small groups with a fully structured leaning programme which offers the option of certification.  As you progress, you will gain the opportunity and experience of playing in a Scottish Pipe Band with opportunities to perform at festivals, parades, concerts and competitions.

To be sure that you really want to join the Band and become a full Member, you have a free, four week trial period to help you make your decision.  After the four weeks has expired, then  Band Membership is £12.00 per month. 

 Once you sign up as a full band member you will receive: 

• Band Membership card
• Loan of a practice chanter or pad and drum sticks
• Structured tuition & learning materials
• Loan uniform when you turn out for the band
• Access to the Members' Web portal

NB: registration for SQA piping & drumming qualifications is paid separately.

To join the Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums Band you must be eighteen years or older, or under 18's with the consent of the parent or guardian. There is no upper age limit.

Becoming a member of the Wiltshire Caledonian Pipes & Drums band is a commitment and we expect regular attendance at the training sessions, and regular practice at home.  Remember that it takes real dedication to be a good Piper or Drummer and the more you practice, the quicker you’ll be able to join the band playing at events.
