Welcome

Welcome to Pipes On Parade: The Massed Pipes & Drums!

Thank you for being here!

If you are a newcomer, or a returning veteran who marched with us for the 135th Tournament of Roses Parade, WELCOME!!!

I am pleased to announce that based upon our overwhelming success at the Rose Parade, we are most definitely NOT a “One and Done” band!

Numerous performance opportunities have opened up for us and in this Blog, I will do my best to convey in what direction we are headed.

Generally speaking, future performances of Pipes On Parade will fall into two general categories:

1) Festivals & Tattoos

and what I like to call:

2) Grand Adventures

Festivals and Tattoos

We have been invited to perform as part of the Massed Bands for this year’s Long’s Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, Colorado (Sept 4-8). We also have some strong leads (nothing confirmed yet) of other festivals/tattoos that would like us to join them. These festivals/tattoos will typically provide lodging, food, and local transportation. Basically, the only out-of-pocket expense you will incur is your travel to that specific location.

If you would like to sign up for Estes Park this year, please follow this link: https://www.epitattoo.com/.

Grand Adventures

Grand Adventures are performances where we act as an autonomous unit in a larger event setting like we did for the Rose Parade.

In case you haven’t heard yet, we have been accepted to participate in our next Grand Adventure, The Pearl Harbor Days Parade on the island of Oahu in December of 2025!

We have our registration tab open on our website for everyone who would like to join us for that (http://www.pipesonparade.com/register). Due to the size and scope of that event, details will be published in separate Blogs. Please stay tuned!!!
