Anchorage Scottish Pipe Band

The
Anchorage Scottish Pipe Band is the state’s oldest pipe
band, formed in 1963. Over four decades, the band has
performed for mayors, governors, Pope John Paul II and
various charitable organizations. In 2005 the band was
invited to perform “Amazing Grace” at the memorial service
for renowned former Alaska Gov. Jay Hammond.
The
band’s tartan comes from its predecessor, the old McKinley
Highlanders, under the command of Pipe Major, Frank
Carroll.
Travels have taken the band to such far-flung destinations
as Auckland, New Zealand; Hawaii; Whitehorse, YT; and
Shemya (yes, Shemya).
As
a 501c(3) non-profit organization, ASPB performs to raise
contributions and welcomes your gifts to pay for uniforms,
instruments and travel expenses. All band members are
volunteers who come together to make highland music, learn
from each other and have fun.
Check our performance schedule for a list of local
fundraising activities where you can contribute in person
and enjoy some spirited highland piping and drumming!
