Founded in 2000 by Calum MacDonald, The Grand Celtic Pipe Band is a volunteer run not-for profit organization based in Centre Wellington. We are primarily a teaching band encouraging local residents of all ages, genders, cultures, and abilities to become involved in their community and work towards the goal of competition. The band focuses on keeping the traditions of piping and drumming alive and present in our community. Grand Celtic Pipe Band contributes to the Centre Wellington community with regular participation in local events throughout the year including Twilight at Templin Garden, Cogs & Clockwork Steampunk Festival, Elora Monster Month, Santa Claus Parades, Fergus Scottish Festival and provides free pipe and drum lessons to members of all ages.
2024 was a year of massive growth for the band as we welcomed new members to all positions of the Pipes and Drums sections. We've also formally welcomed and appointed Peter Hummel as our new Pipe Major and long time member Dustin Stephens has accepted the role of Pipe Sergeant.
2025 marks an exciting milestone for the band as we turn 25. In 2025, the band will be returning to competitions at Scottish festivals in Ontario. Competing helps each member develop their skills and builds dedication and teamwork. Our team is hard at work to take the field in Grade 5 competitions this season and we hope to see you all there!
