The
Washington Scottish Pipe Band is a Grade III band based in Seattle,
Washington. As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we are
dedicated to the promotion of Scottish culture through performance
and education. Our musicians include students and professionals,
teenagers and 50-somethings, but all share this dedication.
We trace our
roots back to the late 19th century,
making us one of the oldest pipe bands in the Pacific Northwest.
Throughout our history, we have maintained a tradition of
excellence. Today, the band holds membership in the
British
Columbia Pipe Band Association and competes at most of the BCPBA
contests in the Pacific Northwest. Besides pipe band contests, we
have numerous performances throughout the year. Recent performances
include the Northwest Folklife Festival, the opening of the PGA
Tournament in Seattle, a pregame performance at a Seattle Seahawks
game, and the Boeing Good Neighbor Fund Celebration. Not to mention
being the featured entertainers at piper Jim Guthrie’s wedding!
