About

Get in loser - you are about to join 100 years of tradition with the finest Kilty band Chicago has even known.

We’ve been teaching out of the McKee Household on the South Side of Chicago for over 40 years. Pipe and drum students of all ages and talent-levels welcome.

You’ve been playing for 30 years? Hit us up.
You have no idea why someone would ever affix a pipe to a bag and blow in it? Hit us up twice.

A band of family, friends and compatriots. Don’t believe us? There’s a century of names in the roster section.

What are you waiting for?
