Panama City Pipes and Drums
Inc. is
a registered not for profit organization whose charter includes the
promotion of Scottish music, tradition, and heritage. The Band achieves
this by performing at many community events in the local area and by
offering free tuition to people interested in learning to play the
pipes or drums to then become performing members of the band.
Founded
in 1998, Panama City Pipes and Drums was the first pipe band to be
formed in this part of Florida. The Band started with a group of five
and has grown to more than 20 performing members plus students
currently in training. The Band wears the Prince Charles Edward Stewart
tartan (pictured).
The Band has been well
received by
thousands of people attending such events as the Jaycees Christmas
Parade, the City of Lynn Haven 4th of July Parade, the Panama City
Veterans Day Parade, the Port St. Joe Scallop Festival and the
Apalachicola Seafood Festival. The Band represents and promotes the
Panama City region by traveling to various Scottish festivals and
Highland Games held throughout Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
