Organized by
In 1967, an organization was created to train young pipers and drummers in the Bay Area. That band, which began with only a handful of students, has in its 50 years had over 500 pipers and drummers move through the organization. The Prince Charles Pipe Band continues to work towards its founding principles of training young pipers and drummers through quality instruction, dedication, and discipline. The Band is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit educational corporation.
As pipers and drummers move through the ranks and gain experience, they are expected to give back to the organization, serving as teachers for the next generation. The Band's influence on the broader pipe band community can be seen in the many former members who have subsequently played in other pipe bands on the West Coast, as well as in Canada and Scotland.
