The Capital District Youth Pipe Band is devoted to educating students ages 8 to 18 on the craft of Scottish piping and drumming. Beginner students learn the fundamentals in small group lessons until they are ready to transition into the competition band. 

Instruction continues as band members develop their skills and become a musical team competing with other pipe bands at Scottish Games throughout the Northeast of the USA, Canada, and Scotland, as well as performing in parades, concerts, and commencement ceremonies in New York’s Capital District and surrounding areas.
