Congratulation! Dartmouth & District Pipe Band were awarded second place in Grade 3A at the 2024 World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
We are based out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, drawing members and students from throughout the Atlantic provinces.
Our organization currently consists of a grade five and grade three competition band, a parade band, and a well-established bagpipe and drumming school.
We strive to provide a supportive and structured teaching environment where members can reach their full piping and drumming potential. We endeavour to build leadership, teamwork and teaching skills that develop individuals and help them contribute back to the success of the organization.
