Bloomington Pipers' Society

To promote the growth and improvement of Scottish musical arts in South-Central Indiana through education, performance, and competition.

The Bloomington Pipers’ Society is a membership organization with regular public meetings established with the aim to grow the number of bagpipers and drummers in the Bloomington area. Primarily focused on the Scottish musical arts, the Society also celebrates bagpipes from all musical traditions, including the Galicia Gaita Gallega, and the Irish Uilleann pipes. The Society hosts monthly meetings

which are open to the public to share pipe music and to provide pipers, drummers, and the wider community an opportunity to meet each other, listen to music, and ask questions. Beyond these meetings, the Society has hosted recitals, concerts, workshops, music classes, and educational presentations at events around Bloomington. The aim of the Society is to also include regular courses for beginners to learn the bagpipes, as well as regular competitions for local musicians to participate in.
