The Kinross & District Pipe Band
. . .
was formed in 1946,
and has been going strong ever since. One of its founding
members, Alex Murphy, is still with the band today.
Alex served
as Pipe Major for many years, stepping aside in recent years to make way for his Grandson,
Leon Murphy, to take over the reigns.
Alex nevertheless continues to serve as an active Band member and mentor,
earning widespread recognition and admiration for his 60 years+ with the
Band! |

Calling all experienced players !
The 2009 season now underway, we would strongly
encourage all locally-based players with some experience -
particularly pipers - to come

We have a full calendar of competitions and events
lined up for the summer, and as the local Pipe Band, we will once again be
playing again for the opening of all 3 days at
T in the Park in July.
You will be made
very welcome,
as this will further expand the corps, and help us
achieve a healthy balance between learners and more experienced
