The Uxbridge Legion Pipes & Drums provides an opportunity for people in Uxbridge and the surrounding area to play the bagpipes and drums in a fun group setting. We also act as ambassadors of goodwill for Uxbridge Legion.
Our objective is to perform publicly ten to fifteen times a year, including band concerts performed at the Uxbridge Legion. We constantly strive to increase our skills and quality of playing while accommodating new learners.

Lessons
The band currently has a number of bagpipe and drumming students.
Lessons may take on an individual form or be performed in a group setting. It is the responsibility of the student to have a practice chanter when they begin their lessons.
Students are encouraged to immediately become part of the band, by attendance at band functions and social events. Every member of the band realizes the importance of students and therefore each makes a special effort to make every student feel comfortable and at ease.
The band would also welcome those who are already proficient in piping or drumming. If you, or someone you know would like information regarding bagpipe or drumming lessons please contact us
