Robbie Burns Night with the Cochrane Pipe Band

The Cochrane Pipe Band, based in Cochrane, Alberta, was established in 1999 and has since become a cornerstone of the local community, offering both musical and cultural enrichment. Over its 25-year history, the band has grown from a small group of enthusiastic musicians into a respected and celebrated pipe and drum ensemble.

The band was originally formed to preserve and promote the rich tradition of Scottish piping and drumming in Cochrane. Through its commitment to excellence, the Cochrane Pipe Band has participated in numerous performances, parades and cultural events, earning accolades and developing a strong following. It has also been involved in local celebrations, such as the Cochrane Days festival, the Carstairs Heritage Festival and parades around Alberta where it plays a prominent role in showcasing Scottish heritage.

The band’s membership includes individuals of all ages and skill levels offering a supportive and inclusive environment for several levels of musical ability.  Over the years, the Cochrane Pipe Band has fostered a strong sense of community and tradition, making it a vital part of Cochrane’s cultural fabric. As it celebrates its 25th anniversary, the band continues to inspire future generations, sharing the joy of Scottish music with both local and broader audiences.
