Description
The Hills District Pipe Band was formed in early 1970, based at Castle Hill, from the remnants of the Toongabbie Pipe Band, and a number of significant new members who gave strength and direction to the band.
The choice of the new band’s uniform underlines the origins of some of the key foundation members and the direction charted for the band.
The Macdonald of Clanranald (Ancient) tartan was chosen for the pipers (on John Milne’s suggestion) both because of the attractiveness of the ancient colours and because the clan badge design was that of a castle. (look at previous pic).
One distinctive feature of the uniform then and still is the differing tartan worn by the drum corps, almost like two bands in one.
Drummers wear the Argyll and Sutherland tartan (similar to the Black Watch tartan) in honour of Tom Parker, the foundation Drum Sergeant, an ex-Argyll and Sutherland drummer.
