Beverley & District are a Grade 4 Pipe Band made up of approximately 11 pipers and 9 drummers. 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.
While recent years have only allowed attendance at the solos and trios, 2006 will be the first year in many where the band will be seen at mini band and full band competitions after spending too long out of the competition scene!
During 2008, for a Full Band Competition we will field around eight pipers, thre or four snare drummers, a bass and one or two drummers.
