The Myrtle Beach Regional Pipe Band was formed to raise the awareness of the rich Celtic heritage of the Carolinas by providing the community both an opportunity to enjoy Celtic pipe band music and to join in learning to play this unique form of music and to preserve other Celtic traditions. The band can be found performing light concerts for both public and private occasions such as Schools, Churches, Weddings, and Funerals and they also play for Charitable Events, Golf Tournaments, Memorial Day, Veterans Day and other civic memorial services. They have also played a role in the musical Brigadoon and the annual Madrigal Supper in Florence, SC. More recently they provided Pipers for nine different Commemorative Ceremonies on Remembrance Day, September 11th, including the one at the Aircraft Carrier, USS Yorktown, in Mount Pleasant, SC. You can view their current schedule on this website. The band features the Great Highland Bagpipe which is so well known and popular around the world. Lessons are available for either the bagpipe or pipe band drums as well as other traditional instruments and Highland Dancing. The Band’s uniform kilt is the regional tartan from the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia (which means “New Scotland”). The Band is a not-for-profit corporation located in the coastal area of South Carolina known as the Grand Strand. The members who live in this area are often joined by pipers from other states and Canada. It is organized under the laws of South Carolina and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization under Federal Tax Regulations. Donations are tax deductable. Anyone interested in becoming a supporting band member or a sponsor is encouraged to call the Band Manager or the Pipe Major for additional information.
