Formed in 1942, the band recently celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2017 with a concert, ceilidh, supper, and the production of a booklet featuring tunes composed by talented members of the band.

The band wears MacNeil of Barra tartan and in 1984, was one of the first bands in New Zealand to replace the traditional military pipe band uniform (No 1’s) with modern cutback dress jackets, glengarry caps, long socks and brogues as worn by all bands today.
