The award-winning Pipe Band at St Columba’s School is renowned for its first-class performances.
Around 130 pupils from Junior 3 to Senior VI are involved in the School’s Piping and Drumming Programme from a grass-roots level to the full Pipe Band.
Pipe Band I is made up of over 90 pupils. The Band plays at all major School occasions as well as for many local community events including annual gala days and is regularly invited to play at Clydeport, Greenock, to entertain passengers on visiting cruise ships. The Band regularly participates in the Tartan Week celebrations in New York and enters a range of competitions for solo and ensemble performances.
The Pipe Band meets after on a Wednesday and Band II meets on a Monday.
