24.01.2022 For the first time in 65 years, it was feared the Eternal Flame at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance would be extinguished. But thanks to a quick response from RMIT manufacturing experts, the flame continues to be an enduring symbol of eternal life.
23.01.2022 Bill Millin played Highland Laddie and Road to the Isles on his bagpipes as Lord Lovat and the Commandos came under intense enemy fire on D-Day, 6th of June 1944
21.01.2022 Pipe Bands Victoria today announced Maryborough Highland Society as promoter for the 2020 Australian championships on 4 and 5 April. The announcement was attended by regional media and young players from the Maryborough band. More details to follow.
20.01.2022 Congratulations to Hawthorn Pipe Band on the win in Grade 2. We came 6th in a field of 16 bands in Grade 4. We were pleased with our performance but the other bands were better on the day. Lots to work on!
19.01.2022 A unforgettable rendition of our national anthem, highlighting the dangers of bagpipers' expanded lung capacity.
18.01.2022 OSP&Ds have the honour of playing for veterans and their families/supporters in today’s Anzac March in Melbourne. A performance undertaken with particular pride this year in the service and achievements of another old Scotch Collegian - General Sir John Monash - Dux of the School in the Class of 1880 Apologies to those who have fallen in love with our red check socks. We have upgraded to more robust pure wool dark blue socks - for obvious reasons
18.01.2022 A shout out to the players in the Warrnambool and District Pipe Band which was unable to participate in today’s Victorian Pipe Band Championships due to Terang, Gazette and Gnotuk bush and grass fires which cut major roads between Geelong And Warrnambool. Hoping you and your homes are all safe.
16.01.2022 I don’t think that this idea will catch on in for competition play. Too easily affected by cool climate conditions
15.01.2022 OSP&Ds was proud to lead the SAS Regiment returned servicemen in today’s Anzac March in Melbourne. Marching on Anzac Day is always a highlight of our year.
13.01.2022 The Band was once again proud to support the Croydon RSL in their ANZAC Remembrance Service on last Sunday - Lest we Forget
12.01.2022 The Old Scotch Pipes and Drums will be playing in the Melbourne Anzac Day march on Anzac Day (obviously ) we will be stepping off at about 10:30 from Flinders Street and marching up St Kilda Road to the Shrine of Remembrance. We will also be playing in the Massed Bands at about 12 noon just prior to the formal Anzac service. Proud to march but even prouder of our many returned services personnel and their families/supporters who turn out to remember the fallen - lest we forget.
08.01.2022 Old Scotch Pipes &. Drums mourns the passing of one of the giants of Pipe Bands in both Victoria and Australia. Bob Semple was one of the last surviving WW2 Rats of Tobruk and universally respected and loved across the pipe band community as both a Drum Major and as a vigorous and passionate advocate for all the rats and other returned servicemen and women. Bob would have turned 100 in May 2020 and he stood as an inspiration for all he met. A truly great bloke, he will be missed. For Bob and all those who served, we will remember you - lest we forget.
02.01.2022 A big day out in every sense for our band today at the Victorian Pipe Band Championships held in Geelong.
