Branch 58 Royal Canadian Legion Pipes and Drums
The Pipes and Drums of Branch 58 Royal Canadian Legion was founded in 1927, the same year the Branch received its charter and one year after the founding of the Legion nationally. Thus, with over 96 years of continuous operation, it is one of the oldest, if not “the oldest,” Legion pipe bands in Canada. The founding pipe major was John (Jock) MacFarlane.
Innisfil Pipes and Drums
The idea to form our band in Innisfil occurred at the A.N.A.F. (Army, Navy, Air Force) Club in Barrie, Ontario on a Saturday afternoon in September, 1977, after their resident band had just finished their practice. The manager of this fairly new band approached Joe McKeown and myself and asked if we could try and get some people from Innisfil Township to join his Barrie and District Pipe & Drum Band (now disbanded).
Kincardine Scottish Pipes Band
The Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band celebrated its celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2008 and is believed to be the oldest street pipe band with unbroken service in Ontario. Founded in 1908, by Pipe Major William Young, the band first hit the street in late 1909 originally wearing the McKenzie Tartan and boasting a membership of 5 Pipers, 4 Drummers, and a Drum Major. For the first 20 years of their existence their ranks varied from 9-20 members and even included the renowned drummer, Albert Tucker, who had the honour of being chosen as the lead drum for the funeral of King Edward, in 1910.
