SUMMARY:Winter Piping & Drumming Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Pipe Bands Australia Winter Piping & Drumming Retreat returns in 2026\, bringing together pipers and drummers from across the country for an immersive four-day program of learning\, collaboration\, and performance. \nDesigned to support players at every stage of their development\, the retreat offers expert tuition across piping\, snare\, tenor\, and bass drumming. From foundational technique through to advanced musical refinement\, participants will engage in a structured and supportive environment focused on real improvement. \nMore than a series of workshops\, the retreat provides an opportunity to step away from routine band activity and focus on individual and ensemble growth—while building connections within the broader pipe band community.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Tartan parade - Australian Ladies commemoration and world record setting
DESCRIPTION:Female pipers and drummers from across Australia and the world are being invited to take part in a landmark event this July\, as Melbourne hosts what organisers hope will become the largest ladies’ pipe band ever assembled. The gathering will take place on Sunday\, 5 July 2026\, in collaboration with Melbourne’s annual Tartan Day Parade. \nThe event commemorates two extraordinary milestones: the centenary of the Australian Ladies Pipe Band’s celebrated 1925–27 world tour\, and the more than 100 years since the world’s first ladies’ pipe band was formed in Melbourne in 1918. All current and former female members of pipe bands are encouraged to participate. \nSee the article below for details. \nCentenary Celebration to Honour Pioneers and Set World Record at Melbourne Tartan Day Parade\, 5 July 2026 \n \n
