It's In The Blood!
Est. 1999

The Grimsby Pipe Band is an actively participating pipes and drums band based in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. We practice on Saturday mornings (10 am to noon) and Tuesday Evenings (6:45 pm to 9 pm). The Grimsby Pipe Band proudly wears the Earl of St. Andrew’s Tartan along with St. Andrew’s Crest on our glengarries.

** SIDE DRUMMERS WANTED!**
 If you have not played at all, we will teach.  If you have not played in a while, we will instruct. If you would like to join a Non-competition Pipe and Drum Band, who participates in parades and events in Southern Ontario…look no further!
The Grimsby Pipe Band provides modern drumming equipment, uniforms, and two practices a week so that if you cannot make one practice there might be an alternate practice that will work with your schedule. We practice Tuesday Evenings and Saturday Mornings.  Tuesday currently from 6:45 pm to 9 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 12 noon.  Covid Safe Practices will be in effect.  
Regardless of your skill level, we welcome you to contact Pipe Major Gordon Scott at 905-520-7981 (cell & texting) for further information. ​

Covid Update : All band members attending practices at the Cairn Christian School Stoney Creek are fully vaccinated. The band also utilizes Skype for band practices during the times when they are unable to meet.
Please contact Gordon Scott if you would like to join our practice sessions (email: pipemajor@grimsbypipeband.com; phone: 905-520-7981).


​Additional updates:
1) Private Lessons available for band members - There are private piping lessons for the band members ( on Skype) who wish to work on their piping skills and brush up on various band tunes.  This has proven itself over and over again to be both productive and keeps the Piper abreast of any areas within a tune or set that might warrant additional practice.  The tenor drummers also have sought out additional instruction through Michele Curtis. The generosity of the band membership allows the band to continue to move forward as a united and happy pipe and drum band. 

2) Your invitation to join a fun, non-competitive, family-oriented street and event pipe and drum band!  

If you’re a piper or side drummer who hasn't played in a while or would like to play for a non-competition pipe band, then please contact Gordon Scott by phone or text at +1-905-520-7981. The band is very supportive of our members and will provide instruction and help each other out. Our goal is always to enjoy ourselves and have fun playing as a band. Please join us !


​The Grimsby Pipe Band is one of the very few Pipe and Drum bands to be fully independent and receives no monies unless we earn them through parades and events or through the generosity of its membership. 
If you require a Piper for hire, we can assist there as well!

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.
