Since 1952
During the COVID-19 pandemic, KHPB continues to rehearse virtually via Zoom meetings and we are working on several virtual projects. Unfortunately all of the Highland Games were cancelled for 2020, but we have continued to meet weekly to work on our existing repertoire and several new exciting tunes. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for updates (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter).
Since early March 2020, the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band has been unable to practice or play together in person due to the coronavirus pandemic. We had started working on an arrangement of “Dollar Sunrise” by Lincoln Hilton which we had hoped to perform at a recently cancelled event. So we did the next best thing: 23 players recorded their parts individually at home and we brought them all together in this band video! We hope you enjoy it. (Video on YouTube and Facebook)
The Keith Highlanders Pipe Band is a non-profit cultural and educational organization dedicated to broadening the public’s interest in and appreciation for traditional Scottish piping, drumming, and dancing in the Pacific Northwest.

We are delighted to announce that the British Columbia Pipers’ Association has promoted the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band to Grade 3 for the 2018 season! This is an incredible achievement for KHPB, and a direct result of the level of commitment and hard work of everyone in the band over the past few years. We are looking forward to the challenge ahead!
The Chieftain of this year’s Pacific Northwest Highland Games, Fred Jessett, played in the Keith Highlanders many years ago. In 1960, the band played at Fred and Kris’s wedding as a surprise for them. The band was honored to be able to surprise Fred and his wife again at the games this year–57 years later! The band plays at the 2:45 mark: Video.
The Keith Highlanders Pipe Band won the weekend at the Pacific Northwest Highland Games on July 29-30! The band also won Best Drum Corps on both days, and the weekend’s results led to the band winning the BCPA Grand Aggregate award for Grade 4 for most overall points in a season. Congrats to the band for all the hard work this past year! Here’s a video of the band’s Medley performance, shot “from the back end.”
