The Hamilton Police Pipe Band is a highly-successful, world-class pipe and drum organization, with some 80 active members playing in three competition bands.

Located in Hamilton, about 60 kms south of Toronto, the band is sponsored by the city's police service. However, the great  majority of its members are juveniles  and adult musicians with no direct involvement in law enforcement.

The bands have strong, fast-growing youth programs that include many of the best young highland arts musicians in the region. We have competed and won internationally.

The band embraces a positive, family-oriented atmosphere that has created many lifelong friendships.

We welcome all enquiries, and are particularly interested in working with area youngsters interested in picking up the pipes or drums.
