About The Band
The Ulster Scottish Pipe Band was formed in 1922, making it one of the
oldest pipe bands in the United States. It is a Grade 3 competition
band. The band is under the direction of
Pipe Major Dave Hall, Lead Drummer Matt Lewis, and Drumming Instructor Derek Cooper and is located just outside of
Philadelphia, PA.
The Thomas I Hall Memorial Pipe Band was formed in 2005, in remembrance of
Tom Hall. Tom was Pipe Major of the Ulster Scottish Pipe Band for 42
years. TIHMPB is a Grade 5 competition band. The Band is under
the direction of Pipe Major Traci Cooper (Tom's Daughter) and Drum
Sergeant Eric Knudsen.
The bands compete at an average of 10
Scottish Games each year, and also
perform in
various parades and other venues. We are a family-oriented band focused
on competition. Both bands are dedicated to teaching. New members
are always welcome. We practice weekly in
Roslyn, PA, and occasionally in Elkton, MD. If you are interested
in becoming a member, please
