Our History:The band formed in 1999 on the initiative of Gordon Scott, a local musician who played bagpipes for several years with the Dofasco Pipes and Drums. The original members met on Friday evenings to share their love of piping. One of those was Bob Doherty who at that time was minister of St. John’s Presbyterian Church and St. John’s became the band’s home. The word spread and gradually other pipers and drummers joined the Friday evening sessions.
