The Angus Scott Pipe Band - Your Celtic experience!
Our Beginning
The Angus Scott Pipe Band was formed in 1955 by a small but dedicated group and is one of the oldest continuing Scottish bagpipe bands in the Spokane & Coeur d'Alene area.
The band was named in memory of Pipe Major Angus Scott of Kimberly B.C. His enthusiasm and support for the project had much influence on the Scottish community in the Inland Empire.
The primary objective of the Angus Scott Pipe Band is:
- To promote public awareness of Scottish heritage and traditions through the instruction and performance of highland bagpiping and drumming.
The purposes of the band are:
- To promote quality playing and performing as an educational venture for the general public.
- To provide free concerts to educational and charitable organizations.
- On a non-discriminatory basis, to teach, promote and foster the proper techniques needed to perform on the Scottish bagpipe, bass drum, tenor drum, and snare drum.
