Welcome
Welcome to the
Greater Bendigo and District Pipes and Drums Inc. Website
A new Pipe band has been formed in the Bendigo District known as
Greater Bendigo and District Pipes and Drums
15/01/2011
We play for pleasure ..
Why join us
The band has been formed with the specific aim of enjoying ourselves playing pipes and drums. The plan is to compete and to play at as many community events as we can manage.
An aggressive fund raising plan is being formulated with the aim of covering travel cost to contests in SA and beyond.
The committee is dedicated to the idea of welcoming new members and there will be no distinction between playing and non-playing members.
If you wish to enjoy playing pipes or drums please give our PM or President a call and have a chat. You will be very welcome to drop down to the band hall and have a listen and a play with us at practice.
In time we hope to co-operate with other pipe bands in the area and assist them where they maybe short of numbers for a gig.
How to join the band
Call into band practice, give us a call or drop us an email. We would love to chat about the band, piping and drumming in general!
You will be very welcome whether you wish to play casually or competitively.
