Trail Pipe Band

The Trail Pipe Band was formed circa 1924.  The first known photo of the Band is dated 1926 with the name "Trail Caledonia Society Pipe Band" on the drum.  Throughout its history, the Band has been sponsored by community groups or organizations and the Band's name has been changed to reflect this support.  Some of these included the Orange Lodge and the Trail Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.  For over 90 years, the Trail Pipe Band has participated in countless community ceremonies and events, as well as Scottish related events, such as Robbie Burns Night and Highland Games, creating a Trail tradition.

The Band members have traveled widely throughout Southeast BC, Washington, and Idaho for community celebrations promoting the City of Trail, providing entertaining music, and adding colour to hundreds of events.  On many occasions they were accompanied by several girls from the Kate Shaw Highland Dance School.

Today, the Trail Pipe Band continues these traditions with dedication and commitment to the City of Trail and are a significant part of our community's culture and history.
