High Desert Pipes and Drums maintains its status as a teaching competition band, comprised entirely of volunteers. One of our enduring characteristics is the diversity of our membership. We draw from all ages, careers, and ethnicities. We have seen many of our young members grow up into fine adults and begin lives and families of their own.
If you would like to get involved, please contact us! No prior experience in piping, drumming, or music in general is necessary — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try something new!
