The Olympia Highlanders Bagpipe Band was formed in 1972.    We are a self-sponsered, non-profit band promoting the traditions and culture of Scotland. The Band has won numerous awards for performances in parades, graduations and other private and civic events.    Our pipers march wearing the Red MacPherson tartan and our drummers wear the Green Douglas tartan. Our band has performed throughout Washington as well as in Oregon, British Columbia and Alaska.    Scotland was toured on two occasions.

We welcome participation by anyone interested in our activities (piping, drumming and Highland Dancing).    Piping or drumming instruction is available to perspective members from experienced members of the Band.    Highland Dance instruction is available through the Carol MacPherson School of Highland Dancing/The Scottish Dance Academy (please see our "Links" page here.    If you would like further information about the Band, receiving instruction or would like to attend a weekly practice to see what we do, please contact us here.







But it's not all parades and performances.    We have at least two Band parties a year.    Everyone's families and friends are welcome to attend and we all play solo or in groups, talk and just have fun and relax.    Click on the photos to enlarge them.
