Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band


The Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band was a competitive grade 1 pipe band based out of Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

History

The group was originally established in Edmonton in 1982, as the Grade 1 Edmonton Caledonia Pipe Band. The band's name was changed in the mid 1990s, after it received a large influx of players from Calgary. The band recorded 2 CDs, "They Took Their Leave" in 1998 and "Another Round" in 2005.
In 2013 key members of the pipe section leave to pursue their careers elsewhere and the band decided to fold as it was not able to field a competition band at the Grade 1 level.
The Edmonton group of players came back together in 2015 to start the new Grade 2 local band North Stratton Pipe Band. The Calgary players came together after the fold of the band and joined the Grade 2 Rocky Mountain Pipe Band.
