Come check us out!
Our practices are Tuesdays from 7-9 pm at the Masonic Temple Hall located at 8105 Derrinberg Road (near the Victoria airport). Throughout the year, we participate in parades and sponsored gigs. We can offer instruction to student learners, encouraging their active involvement in the band. Members pay a modest annual fee, and SPPB provides a uniform kit to pipers and drummers. The Pipe Major sets the music, expectations, gig selections, and band standards.
Our aim is to create a welcoming, supportive environment of comradery that celebrates the beauty of Celtic music!
