Branch 58 Royal Canadian Legion Pipes and Drums

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

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).
