Greater Midwest Pipe Band
The Greater Midwest Pipe Band was established in 2013 having its first competitive season in 2014. Since its founding the band has striven to develop a strong competitive presence at the Grade II level. The band was founded under the intentions to develop a unit that was centrally located in the Midwestern United States. With many of its initial members coming from either Detroit or Chicago, it was decided that the band should be located somewhere in South Central, Michigan. Chance has it that Battle Creek, Michigan is nearly dead center between both metropolitan areas. We have been very fortunate to call Battle Creek home, and specifically the Music Center of South Central Michigan who have provided us with an incredible home since the end of 2022. We previously practiced at the Battle Creek Masonic Center and feel that the fine folks there, who provided us with a home for our first nine years, are our family. Currently the band has members from all across North America with representation from seven States and one Canadian Province. With our new approach to a high level competitive band, and the use of modern technology, we are able to staff our organization with players from all corners of North America.
