Welcome to the official website of the City of Adelaide Pipe Band. South Australia's highest graded, and premier pipe band.
Founded in 1991, a group of enthusiastic young South Australian pipers set out with the goal of creating a fun, but serious Pipe Band to represent the state in high calibre competition and public performance. Almost 2 decades later that's exactly what the band is still doing.
Despite it's relatively short history, the City of Adelaide Pipe Band has experienced unprecedented success for a South Australian band, having attained 17 South Australian Pipe Band Championships, 4 Victorian Pipe Band Championships and 2 Australian Pipe Band Championships, as well as a number of high profile public performances.
The band is currently led by Pipe Major Brett Tidswell who has held the position since the bands creation in 1991, and Drum Sergeant Nathan Cunnew.
In addition to its endeavours on the competition circuit, the City of Adelaide Pipe Band also engages in a highly structured and successful musical tuition program designed to improve the bands current members and teach the pipers and drummers of the next generation.
The City of Adelaide Pipe Band is proudly sponsored by the Adelaide City Council, Rob Roy Hotel, and Colin Kyo Bagpipes, and wears the Blue Ramsay Tartan.
