Beverley & District

Beverley & District are a Grade 4 Pipe Band made up of approximately 20 musicians. The band has maintained steady growth over many years, resulting in a close knit family atmosphere. The band doesn’t adopt the fist banging approach to piping, but encourages inclusion, and team work.

The band has built up a regular list of bookings maintaining activity and steady focus for the members through out the year. More recently, as the band has developed it has increased its work towards competitions, which requires a higher level of focus for those that want it. Competitions allow the band to meet and integrate with like minded individuals, and provide another social outlet while generating greater levels of enthusiasm, and improving the standard of playing.

The band has always competed in some form or another, although under it’s current leadership it has only been competing in Full band contests since 2006. The band has competed consistently since then and currently – for 2012 – would expect for a Full Band Competition or Parade to field approximately 8 pipers, 4 snare drummers, a bass, and 2 tenor drummers.
