About
Us
Hi and welcome to our
bands web site.......

We are based in our capital
City of Truro and are very gratefull to Captain D Simmons, D
Company, 6th Rifles, Territorial Army Barracks, Truro, in allowing
us to practice each Thursday evening from 1930hrs to 2130hrs.
Details of the practice
venue can be obtained from the CONTACTS page.
We have adopted the Green
Cornish Hunting tartan for our band uniform and can turn out
in Full No1 dress as worn by Dave Maitland on the right or modest
No2`s.
We currently have members
of both sexes and a youth contingent. The band is made up of
34 members, making up the pipe, snare, tennor and bass sections
and are always on the lookout for new members. We have an active
tuition program currently with 7 learner pipers and 2 drummers
and hold winter workshops at St Agnes. All tuition is free of
charge.
We understand that we
will rarely get a 100% turnout due to the work nature of our
members, but, can always turn out a decent band.
The band, has in its short
time, evolved strong links with the Royal British Legions and
local Councils here in Cornwall performing at parades, marches
and stage shows. We have also helped many village fetes and
carnivals and provided for Weddings and Funerals. We have performed
for members of the Royal Family, appeared on TV and have played
at International events abroad.
Out of the piping season
we have actively supported many charity events in the county
raising money for their own causes. This year will see the band
taking part in Pipefest Edinburgh, with hopefully 10,000 pipers
and drummers from all over the world. Our aim is to raise much
needed money for Marie Curie Cancer Care here in Cornwall together
with our Veterens Charity Help the Heroes.
We are a happy bunch and
believe the band is built from everyone`s efforts and each individual
is treated with the same respect as every one else.
