Personally Tailored Teaching
Combined Cadet Force Pipe Band
Pipe BandOne of the advantages of a large campus at Henderson Row is a lot of room for a marching band. The Academy CCF takes full advantage of this with its Pipes and Drums. Pipers are seen above in full dress parade Since the foundation of the band in 1910, Academy pipers have been privileged to learn under a number of distinguished teachers. The enthusiasm and skill of the Pipes and Drums which have resulted from this expert tuition over the years have been rewarded by 16 victories in the Scottish Schools Competition and by the appreciation of all who hear and see their marching displays in the school, in the community and overseas. |

On behalf of all who are involved with the Pipe Band we would like to thank former pupil and band member Edward Seaman for kindly donating a new trophy “The Plockton Quaich” for the School Jig competition. Edward left the Academy at the end of the summer term 2008 and moved to a music school at Plockton near Skye to further study in traditional Scottish music. He has just completed his time there and is shortly about to start a degree in bagpipe music at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. We would like to wish him every success with his further studies and hope it is not long before he can return and visit the School and Pipe Band. MJ Gray, Pipe Major |
