Dundee Scottish Bagpipe Band. Pipe and Drum band based in West Dundee, IL. Free lessons. We take pride in carrying our heritage forward.

The Dundee Scottish Pipe Band was founded in 2010 by a small group of bagpipers, several of whom had begun playing with the community high school marching bands, The Dundee Scots and The Imperial Scots. These organizations were a beloved part of the community, and offered character building, music education, and scholarship opportunities to area youth throughout the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. The Dundee Scottish Pipe Band has taken its marching band roots and the Scottish heritage of its home, and rebuilt an organization which fosters teamwork, youth education, and a drive for excellence as Dundee’s first competition pipe band. The band offers free bagpipe lessons and free drum lessons. We enjoy playing in community events such as parades, charity events, and we are available for hire for other various gigs.

A lovely Sunday evening spent at the Lake Forest Open Lands Bagpipes & Bonfire 2026! Took a while for the fire to get going this year but still a decent photo op.

We wrapped up the competition season yesterday in Waukesha with a 3rd place finish and Grade 4 best midsection!

Three of our members also competed in solos, and Ian had a fantastic day, taking 1st place in both Novice Tenor and Practice Chanter! 🏆 He also pulled double duty competing with the prize-winning Grade 3 band.

It was great seeing familiar faces from the other bands and getting one more competition day together before the season wraps up. We were also grateful for a break from the recent heat wave. Still sticky, but at least we weren’t melting.

And finally, the end-of-season bees made their appearance. One casualty. 🐝

Overall not a bad way to finish the season! 🥁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Way to go, Tim & Ian! 🎉 Both of our attending soloists brought home hardware from the this weekend. Congratulations to you both!

We weren’t able to make the trip as a band this year, but seeing these two represent Dundee so well makes us excited to (hopefully!) all be there next year.
