BACKGROUND

The Tampa Bay Pipes & Drums officially formed on March 18th, 1999, right after a particularly eventful St. Patrick's Day. There were only a few members at that time, but their outstanding charisma and personal hygiene quickly attracted new members. It wasn't long before the tartan was selected and the kilts ordered, and the band was off the ground running. The band is a member of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA) and currently has over 30 performing members. Please contact the band if you are interested in joining.

PERFORMANCES

The band has performed throughout the Southeastern United States. In addition to participating at the Scottish Highland games around the Southeast, they also perform yearly at the Florida State Fair, The Gasparilla Night parade in Tampa Florida, and the Tampa St. Patrick's Day Parade. The band serves the Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, and City of Largo Police Departments for ceremonies and memorial services. Contact us if you are interested in hiring the band or individuals from the band to perform at an event.
