Community Recognition - The Highlands Pipes and Drums

15th November, 2024.

The sound of bagpipes is not uncommon to hear in the Southern Highlands. The Highlands Pipes and Drums group of musicians lend their musical talents to creating atmosphere at a range of community events through the instantly recognisable sounds of the bagpipes. The group is set to get a boost with the recent awarding of a $5000 grant from the Southern Highlands Community Foundation for the purchase of musical equipment. Founded over 20 years ago, the Highlands Pipes and Drums welcome people of all ages to join. They offer lessons in piping and drumming, and have been active in competitions as well as regular performances including Australia Day celebrations and Anzac Day ceremonies. The pride and dedication of the group is evident in their commitment to giving back to the community with their unique and enriching musical performances. The group continues to nurture musicians and grow year on year, and is an asset to the Southern Highlands.
