The Scotia-Glenville Pipe Band has three main goals:

• offer bagpipe lessons and drum lessons in a comfortable, youth-centered environment.

• provide leadership opportunities for teenagers.

• Compete in the United States, Canada and Scotland as a Juvenile Pipe Band.

Professional instructors, coupled with outstanding camaraderie and team attitude, makes the Scotia-Glenville Pipe Band a singular organization -- it is the only competing Juvenile Pipe Band in the Northeastern United States.

We practice weekly on Wednesday nights at the Scotia-Glenville Middle School (click here for a map) at 7 p.m. Come learn more about the band, meet the instructors and other students! You can also read the instructor's blog here: http://bagpipeteacher.blogspot.com/

You can listen to our latest CD and buy a copy to support the band! It was reviewed in the January 2010 edition of Irish American News' Piping It In.

Beginner lessons are starting soon. Please email us or call 374-6034 for more information.
