Hills District Pipe Band is the proud pipe band of the Hills District of Sydney Australia, where place names such as Baulkham Hills, Glenorie and Glenhaven recall the contribution of Scottish people and culture. We are serious about the quality of our music and presentation, with a down to earth and welcoming culture. Members come from as far as the Central Coast and the more southern suburbs of Sydney. We have a calendar ranging from ANZAC marches and services across Sydney, to Highland festivals in the Hunter Valley and Southern Highlands of NSW, to community events in the Hills District.

If you are interested in learning Pipes or Drums you have come to the right place!

One of the major aims of the Band is to bring up the next generation of pipers and drummers, through a program of structured training, and if you are an experienced player you can help us!

We practise on Tuesdays at 7pm at Castle Hill Showground’s Federation Pavilion. Typically we have four training groups running - early stage pipes, progressing pipes, drumming training group, and main band. You will fit nicely into one of them!

Training progresses through 7 major stages to have you playing and marching with the band, at the performance standard that the band requires!

Uniforms are provided by the band. For pipers, the band can provide you with practice chanter and pipes for an initial period of around a year, by which time pipers are generally keen to own their own pipes.

For drummers, the band can provide practice pad and sticks for an initial period, and you will be issued with a band drum for as long as you are an active member.

Prospective members are welcome at Tuesday band practice, to see what band life is actually like. Generally we'll take you through what's happening, or if we're focusing on a major performance a few days away, you are at least welcome to watch and we'll take you through things the following Tuesday!
