Nae experience
necessary.
Free tuition, instruments on loan, and a tradition stretching back to 1946. All you need is the willingness to show up on a Wednesday.
A legacy worth joining.
Founded by veterans.
Four 30th Battalion veterans started something in a railway hall in Hurstville that would outlast them by decades. You inherit that lineage the moment you pick up the pipes.
A legacy community band.
Be a part of a legacy community pipe band — one that has played for every occasion that matters in the St George and Sutherland Shire for nine decades.
Bundanoon every year.
The Brigadoon Highland Gathering is Australia’s premier highland games and a fixture in the band’s calendar. MacGregor tartan in the Southern Highlands.
How it works.
The band teaches all beginners. There is no cost. It has always been this way.
Show Up
Come to a Wednesday practice at Cronulla High School, 7:30 pm, any week. Just walk in.
Borrow an Instrument
The band loans instruments to all beginners — pipes or drums, your choice. No outlay required.
Learn From the Band
Experienced members teach at your own pace. Pipe Major Max Clark has been doing this for fifty years.
