Band Established 1964 - Web Site Established 27th March 2001
Welcome to our Web site
The John Ford Highland Pipe Band
of
The American Legion, Post 338.
St. Louis MO
A tax exempt organization under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
From all the members of The John Ford Highland
Pipe Band, we wish you all a very warm welcome. If you are a piper or
drummer or just want to find out more, then please, get in touch. We are
always looking for new band members - even if you have never played before. All lessons are free on Bagpipe and Side and Base drumming.
We are a private, not-for-profit, musical
and social group of men and women dedicated to the art of piping and drumming,
as well as the maintaining of the Gaelic Heritage. We were founded in
1969 by our current Pipe Major, Mr Bill Sandbach, and today, continue
to enjoy providing the Saint Louis region with a premier pipes and drum
band. A project of our mission is the ongoing support of local charities.
Further afield we traveled to New York as part of the "Tunes of
Glory" parade and Washington D.C.
We thank the American Legion for it's many years of loyal support to this band. It
is with great pride that we march behind "The Colours"
