The North Ryde RSL Pipe Band is a vibrant community group that offers opportunities for both experienced musicians and beginners to learn and perform bagpipes and drums. Meeting every week to practice in the Epping Creative Centre since January 2024 its new affiliation with the North Ryde RSL Community Club has allowed the band to become more embedded within our community.
The band practices every Thursday and welcomes new members, regardless of experience level at Epping Creative Centre, 26 Stanley Rd, Epping, NSW. Practices run from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM on these days.
The band provides tuition for both learners and experienced musicians, with uniforms and instruments supplied. Members can participate in individual Zoom lessons, weekly outdoor practices, and combined competition band practices with members from across NSW.
The band is an integral part of the North Ryde Anzac Day ceremonies and in the CBD, participating in parades and services to honour Australian service personnel. In addition to public performances at weddings, birthday parties, street marches, and festivals, the band is actively involved in competitions.
