Welcome to the Lethbridge Legion Pipe Band home page. The Legion band, officially the Pipes and Drums of the General Stewart Royal Canadian Legion Branch #4, was resurrected in its current incarnation in 2005, and was incorporated as a non-profit society in the spring of 2007. The band tartan is a hunting Stewart (weathered colours).

The band marching on at the opening ceremonies for the 55+ Winter Games, Thursday, February 19, from a Photobucket link at the games' website, www.55pluswintergames.com. |
During summer months, the band rehearses at various parks in Lethbridge and surrounding communities, weather permitting. Watch this space for where the band will be performing on Wednesday, August 5. Until then, the band will be on a short hiatus. Regular (free) beginner practice chanter sessions will resume September 12.
The band welcomes both interested newcomers without any prior experience and experienced pipers and drummers to join us. Where possible, absolute beginners will be given tuition in a group setting free of charge, although because of the demands placed on limited rehearsal time, beginners are advised to seek out additional individual instruction outside band practice time. Band members can suggest suitable teachers for piping and drumming.
