413 ACU Pipes and Drums

413 ACU Pipes and Drums Interested in learning Pipes and Drums as an Australian Army Cadet? We Parade Thursday nights 6:30pm - 9:30pm during school terms! Come in and try any time!

Be a part of the Australian Army Cadets and play with the Pipes & Drums! Parades are Thursday Nights from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. For all inquiries please contact the Officer Commanding, CAPT(AAC) Jessica McCarthy. Email: [email protected]

Pipes and Drums offer a wide variety of opportunities within the AAC. We still teach our cadets lessons from the Cadet Development Curriculum (CDC

) to ensure they get the same opportunities as other cadet units, as well as so they can progress through the system and experience activities like Leadership and Instructor courses (LAI) as well as Ex Rising Sun (formally known as AFX). However, one of our staff has created a Pipes and Drums CDC that we're trialing through the unit to ensure it is successful and beneficial for cadets who want to be a musician, learn how to be a piper or a drummer, or would like to try a new skill.

KING’S BIRTHDAY TRI-SERVICE CADET PARADE

On Saturday 6 June, cadets from all three services came together at Keswick Barracks for the 2nd Annual King’s Birthday Tri-Service Cadet Parade.

The parade showcased the strong partnership between the Australian Navy Cadets, Australian Army Cadets and Australian Air Force Cadets, with cadets proudly representing their units in a display of leadership, discipline and service.

The parade was honoured to be reviewed by Air Vice-Marshal Jason Begley, CSM.

A special thank you to 413 ACU Pipes and Drums, whose outstanding performance added tradition, pride and ceremony to the occasion.

Events such as this provide cadets with the opportunity to come together as one cadet community, strengthening friendships across the services while honouring the service and dedication of His Majesty King Charles III.

Congratulations to all cadets, staff and volunteers who contributed to the success of this significant parade. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the years ahead.

Stay tuned for more photos as we receive them from the photographer.

FIND YOUR RHYTHM - 413ACU (Pipes and Drums) is hosting a Come and Try Night for cadets keen to step up, try something new, and be part of something bigger!

No musical experience? No problem. Whether you’ve never picked up an instrument or already enjoy music, this is your chance to learn new skills and challenge yourself in a supportive environment.

You can attend as a secondary unit, meaning you can work toward the musical elective package while still parading at your home unit, giving you the best of both worlds without leaving your ACU.

More than just music, 413ACU is known for its strong community, teamwork, and family spirit. It’s where friendships are built, confidence grows, and everyone is supported to succeed.

Please notify your attendance via email:

Come along, give it a go, and find your rhythm.
