Golden City Pipe Band - Bendigo
"The City" has been part of the piping and drumming world for 60 years, promoting achievement and excellence in Scottish music at community celebrations, Scottish festivals and in competition.
Whether you are looking for a band or solo pipers for your next function or to join a band that combined musical achievement with community service, Golden City Pipe Band has the traditions, the skills and the music to create an enjoyable journey.
Golden City Pipe Band (pictured below) joined nine other bands from accross Victoria to perform at the 151st Maryborough Highland Gathering on January 2.
We were part of the street march and kept underr the shade between performances on the oval on a day of 40 degrees.
The strong Bendigo contingent at the Gathering was highlighted when Golden City, Bendigo Highland and Clan Macleod marched as a single unit to the massed band assembly area. Well done all.
LEARN THE BAGPIPES
Golden City has a team of experienced and successful pipe and drum tutors offering weekly lessons during school terms.
Lessons are provided in the student's home with all learners coming together once a month for a class ensemble lesson.
Students are taught the rudiments of music, beginning on the chanter before progressing to the bagpipes.
Once general proficiency has been achieved - our tutors believe the young learner piper can reach this level in approximately 12 months with regular practice - the student progresses to the next stage in their musical development with membership of the band.
Weekly group lessons are also available.
LEARN THE DRUMS
The drum corp of Golden City Pipe Band has consistently been rated among the very best in Australia and New Zealand.
Over the decades, our generations of drummers have continued to display artistry and musical precision in competition and community performance.
Again, lessons are offered to youngsters through our Piping and Drumming Academy
