capital city pipes, drums, and dancers
More than 50 years ago, an accomplished piper from Scotland by the name of Bobby Peters had a “Capital” idea…to form a bagpipe band in his new home of Columbus, Ohio. After much diligent work, Capital City Pipes and Drums was formed and was destined to become one of the most familiar bands in Central Ohio.

In October, 1966, four pipers and one drummer gathered at the Canadian Legion Hall in Lorain for the first practice of what had already been named the Lochaber Pipe Band. Over the next few weeks, others joined them and by the end of the year the founder’s roll of the Lochaber Pipe Band was complete. The first engagement of the Band was a Social Night sponsored by the Canadian Legion, Post 54.
