What a great weekend in Dandridge! We had a blast at the Dandridge Scots-Irish Festival, sharing some music, catching up with friends, and spending the day with folks who love these traditions as much as we do.

Thank you to the festival organizers and volunteers for welcoming the Memphis Pipe Band and putting so much work into a wonderful event. And to our friends with Knoxville Pipes and Drums and Appalachian Highlanders Pipes and Drums—thanks for the music, the laughs, and an awesome time together. Always a pleasure to share a day with you!

We’re sharing a few photos of the band taken by band dad Tony Scigliano. Thanks, Tony, for being there to support us and capturing these memories along the way!

Competition season may be winding down, but the Memphis Pipe Band still has plenty of miles—and plenty of music—ahead of us before 2026 is over.

If you’ve been wanting to catch the band in person, here are four more chances to see us this year:

* September 26 — Dandridge Scots-Irish Festival | Dandridge, TN
* October 17 — Stone Mountain Highland Games | Stone Mountain, GA
* October 24 — Lyon College ScotsFest | Batesville, AR
* November 1 — Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans | First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, TN

From festival grounds and competition circles to one of our favorite Scottish traditions, we’re looking forward to finishing the year doing what we love—representing Memphis, making music together, and spending time with friends across the Scottish community.

Four events. Four more road trips. A whole lot of pipes and drums.

We hope to see some familiar faces along the way.

Yesterday the band finished fourth overall at the Middle Tennessee Highland Games. We hoped for higher, but we’re proud of our people and ready to put the judges’ feedback to work.

With four first-place finishes from our youth members and a day alongside good friends, we’ve got plenty to celebrate.

A heartfelt congratulations to the overall winners:

🏆 Grade 5 — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Pipes & Drums
🏆 Grade 4 — Knoxville Pipes and Drums
🏆 Grade 3 — Chattanooga Pipe Band

Well earned, friends!

Thank you to our players, instructors, families and everyone cheering us on. This band runs on the time and heart you put into it.

You won’t win every competition. You keep showing up, keep getting better, and take care of your people along the way.

Back to Memphis. Back to work.

Stay tuned to Kenneth Hiner Photography for more photos and videos from the Middle Tennessee Highland Games.

Four young musicians. Four first-place finishes. One very proud Memphis Pipe Band! 🏆

Help us congratulate our youth members on an outstanding day of competition:

🥇 Geoffrey Scigliano — 1st Place, Grade IV Piping 2/4 March, with an Above Grade Level marking!

🥇 William Scigliano — 1st Place, Grade IV Snare Drumming 2/4 March!

🥇 Cole Tyree — 1st Place, Grade V 2/4 March!

🥇 Rhett Tyree — 1st Place, Grade IV Tenor Drumming March Set!

Behind each of these results are hours of practice, plenty of repetition, and the courage to step out in front of a judge and show what you can do. Watching these young musicians grow and seeing their work recognized is one of the best parts of being a band.

To the families and instructors helping them along the way: thank you. These moments belong to you, too.

Well done, Geoffrey, William, Cole, and Rhett. You’ve made your band proud! 👏

Some of the most meaningful moments in a pipe band happen when the crowd is silent.

When the names are read. When the flags are lowered. When a familiar melody gives people a moment to remember someone they miss.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

The Memphis Pipe Band joins our community in remembering the lives taken that morning, the courage of those who answered the call and the families whose lives were forever changed. We also honor those lost in the years since to illnesses connected to the rescue and recovery efforts.

As pipers and drummers, we are entrusted with a small part of how our communities remember. Every memorial performance carries a responsibility to approach the music, the occasion and the people before us with care and respect.

For some, September 11 is history they have learned. For others, it is a morning they can still recall in painful detail. For the families, it is someone missing from every gathering.

Our music is one way we help keep their memory present.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

had a great time helping kick off tonight’s Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day celebration with the Memphis Redbirds, Memphis Irish Society and Silky O'Sullivan's at AutoZone Park!

Our members opened the festivities with a parade around the field, and Pipe Sgt. Donnie Culver even had the opportunity to provide the soundtrack for the fourth-inning Musical Chairs game!

Thank you to the Memphis Redbirds for inviting us to be part of a fun night at the ballpark!

Today, Tennessee has lost one of its greatest treasures.

We join countless people across our state, our nation, and around the world in mourning the passing of Dolly Parton.

Born in the mountains of East Tennessee, Dolly carried the spirit of our state with her throughout an extraordinary life and career. Her music touched generations, but perhaps even greater was the kindness, generosity, and genuine love for others that defined the person behind the songs.

Through her lifelong commitment to literacy, education, disaster relief, and countless charitable causes, she gave back tremendously to the people of Tennessee while making a difference in communities far beyond our state’s borders.

Dolly Parton showed the world some of the very best of Tennessee—talent, humility, humor, compassion, and a willingness to use success in service of others.

Her voice may be silent, but the legacy she leaves behind will continue for generations.

The members of the Memphis Pipe Band extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all those mourning her loss.

Rest in peace, Dolly. Tennessee will never forget you. 🖤
