Argyll Pipe Band

The band was formed in 1903, and currently operates as a Reserve Unit of the Canadian Armed Forces. The uniform is styled after its British Parent Unit, including the wearing of the Government Tartan (commonly known as the Black Watch), with the distinctive Box Pleats. There are currently over 22 Pipers and 12 drummers, most of which are active members of the CF Reserve, but also includes volunteer members.

The Band can perform a full stage show or concert, or participate in a Tattoo or Parade. Performances can include the Pipes & Drums and Highland Dancers.

The band schedule usually includes over 60 Performances and Parades per year, but does not currently compete on a regular basis. Piping and Drumming instruction is provided to people interested in joining the band.
