Highlanders Pipe & Drum

The El Riad Highlanders Pipe & Drum Unit was established in March 2009, starting with just two members who performed at the 2009 Spring Ceremonial. Adorned in traditional hand-crafted kilts and playing world-class instruments, the Highlanders deliver captivating performances of both traditional and modern tunes. Their signature piece, “Robert’s March for Children,” is a unique composition played exclusively by the El Riad Highlanders.

We wholeheartedly welcome new members and offer the instruction needed to learn the music and traditions of the Highland bagpipes. No prior experience is required to join. Marching with the Highlanders is an unforgettable experience that also supports the efforts of the El Riad Shrine by performing at parades, ceremonials, and other El Riad events.

Highlanders Pipe & Drum meets every second and fourth Monday at 6:00 p.m. at the El Riad Shrine.
