Opening ceremonies 2008

Sierra Highlanders Pipe Band

For 47 years, the Sierra Highlanders have been Reno's hometown pipe band and for most of that time, they were the only pipe band in Reno.  Comprised of volunteers, the band is dedicated to serving the local communities, teaching highland bagpipes and drums and keeping the cultural richness of our Scottish heritage alive.  In addition, they play for many events and for ceremonies.  Band membership is open to all. 

Reno & District Firefighters Pipe Band

Established in 2003, the Reno & District Firefighters Pipe Band is also a volunteer organization.  An increase in the  popularity of piping and drumming lead many area pipers and drummers to want to engage in serious amateur-level competition and this band is a response to that need.  This 19-member Pipe Band practices weekly and is committed to actively performing and competing in many different Nevada and California venue sites.  Band membership is open to all.

City of Sacramento Pipe Band

Competing for over 17 years, the City of Sacramento Pipe Band has taken awards from virtually every competition it attended.   The Band competes in Grade 4 and currently has over 20 playing members.  Children and adults are welcome to become a part of this volunteer, non-profit educational group.  Although the Band's main focus is competing in Scottish games and events, they perform throughout Northern California for many different functions and organizational events.
