Raglan Caledonian Society Pipe Band is on the look out for new members to be part of the band

February 24, 2023

The Raglan Pipe Band has been prominent in the Raglan community for more than 75 years. They have led the parades at New Year’s Eve and on ANZAC day for most of those years.

The Pipe Band is currently on the look out to see if there might be any pipers or drummers in Raglan or in the district who are new to the community and have played in a band before and who would be keen to be playing members of the Raglan Band.

We are also considering tutoring sessions if sufficient younger and/or older people are interested in learning to play the bagpipes.

For those who are interested in being part of the band, the only two commitments are to be a part of the parade on New Year’s Eve and on ANZAC day. There will be other opportunities to meet on other occasions through the year for various reasons and maybe have a wee practice.  

We do have an affiliation with and great support from the Hamilton Caledonian Society’s Pipe Band, who complement the band with Pipers and Drummers for both parades. 

Harvey Duncan is the chieftain of the band for now. He works at the iIHub on Wainui Road (by the museum) on Tuesday afternoons and he would like to hear from you if you are interested. 

Call by for a chat and he can talk to you about being a part of the band or if you might like to learn to play the bagpipes. He can also be contacted on ph 029 409 0540.
