Who we are

Formed in 2006, the Pasadena Scottish Pipes & Drums are the 2018 Grade 3B World Champions and currently compete in Grade 3 & Grade 5 Western United States Pipe Band Association competitions.

Affectionately known as the Pasadena Scots, our band is dedicated to the study and performance of Scottish bagpipe and drum music. We proudly wear the California State tartan.

The Pasadena Scots perform year-round in competitions, concerts, parades, and other community and charitable events throughout Southern California. We have also performed out-of-state and internationally, most notably in China and Scotland - where the band has competed three times at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow.

More than simply a group of musicians, the Pasadena Scots have grown into an extended family composed of individuals from diverse backgrounds, occupations, and interests from throughout Southern California. We continually strive to grow and improve and welcome anyone sharing our passion for Scottish music to join us.

The Pasadena Scots are available for hire for private or public functions. Depending on the needs of the event, we can provide a range of options from a solo piper to the full band.
