About the Stuart Highlanders:

The Stuart Highlanders Pipe band was formed in 1958. We perform at events such as Burns suppers, balls, parades, Highland Games, shopping center festivals, school programs, and miscellaneous private engagements. Although we have not competed in recent years, we are a member of the Western U.S. Pipe Band Assoc. (WUSPBA).

We currently have approximately seven pipers, three drummers, a drum major, and several students. New members and students are always welcome. We practice most Wednesday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 at St. Bede's Episcopal Church in Menlo Park. We will devote the first half hour to free lessons whenever students attend. If you want to drop by, please check our rehearsal schedule.

We wear the MacLean of Duart tartan as part of our full dress military uniforms. The band provides uniforms, and drums.

The Stuart Highlanders Pipe Band is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization.
