Saskatoon Pipe Band Collective

Saskatoon Pipe Band Collective

Based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the Saskatoon Pipe Band Collective brings together local pipers and drummers to celebrate and share our rich musical culture. Open to all pipe band drumming musicians in the region, we create welcoming opportunities for camaraderie, collaboration, and fun through events like seniors home crawls, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and other community performances. One of our missions is to build awareness of the vibrant pipe band tradition and help grow our local bands and youth band, the 96th Highlanders Pipes and Drums, by making music more visible and accessible to all.
