Memphis Scottish Society

The band is made up of first responders, military veterans, kids and parents making up a fun group of pipers and drummers. CP&D offers instruction in competition preparation for band and soloists, as well as lessons for those that just want to enjoy piping in the park on warm sunny days.

We offer free weekly lessons in piping and drumming for adults and kids. Private lessons are available for those who are interested in starting off with more attention to detail.

Since 2021 Collierville Pipes and Drums has the privilege of being part of the Collierville Police Department Honor Guard. Some of the best pipers and drummers participate in Collierville Honor Guard pipers and drummers.

We perform regularly throughout the greater Memphis area for Veterans events, Boy Scouts, Germantown and Collierville city and community events.

Other highlights include:

• World Wide WW1 Bagpipe Armistice (100 year anniversary)
• The only Pipe and Drums in the area to have played for the Governor of TN

The Oklahoma Scottish Festival would like to say a big thank you for supporting us once again, during rain, torrential downpours and lots of mud you came out.

We hope you were not too disappointed and understand why we had to close early on Saturday evening, the decision was not made lightly and was made for safety reasons.

We all had a great time, and will do it all again next year, bigger and better!

We look forward to seeing you all back for our 45th Anniversary year — 2024!
