origin story
In September 2021, we began meeting as four friends at a bench outside of Shorecrest High School. After playing again after years, we realized how much we missed playing in a band and decided to continue meeting weekly. Playing practice chanters and learning tunes.
Soon our meetings grew into the early stages of Cascadia, with the aim of competing in grade three in the Summer. Huddled around a glass conference table, we fully utilized the printer and the Keurig machine.
After a successful debut season in grade three, Cascadia Pipe Band was promoted by BC Pipers to grade two for 2023. Cascadia continued on in 2023 to win grade two grand aggregate from BC Pipers.
Pipe Major, Patrick Downing, and Drum Sergeant, Steven Wheeler encourage excellent playing and a continuous growth mindset.
