The MacIntosh Pipe Band was formed in the early 1980’s and has operated uninterrupted since that time. Formed almost entirely of adult beginners, the band members form the pipe and drum corps necessary for both entertaining and competing. Parades, fairs, and other special events fill much of the band’s calendar. They also work on specific tune sets for competition at venues from Pleasanton and Woodland to Puerto Vallarta, Washington, Utah, Nevada, Ontario, and even Scotland.

Members travel to practices in Larkspur, in Marin County, from Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco and San Mateo Counties, as well as meeting on Zoom one night a week. The band can generally provide solo pipers, small ensembles, or a full band for any event that would benefit from a Scottish touch. Contact band manager Kirsten Murtagh for more information

The band is comprised of adult pipers and drummers, most of whom devote their spare time to fulfilling a lifelong dream of playing the Great Highland Bagpipes and drums. Traditional Highland dress, including kilts of the Ancient Hunting Mackintosh tartan, is worn when the band performs.
