The Hornsby RSL Pipe Band was originally formed in 1961 as the Hornsby RSL Youth Club Pipe Band and is now a senior band associated with the Sporting Bodies of Hornsby RSL.
After initially having "pre-loved" kilts of Wallace tartan, we have been wearing the Maclaine of Lochbuie tartan since the mid 1960’s.

The band is active at civic and charitable functions in Hornsby and surrounding districts. April is always our busiest month playing at the Bundanoon is Brigadoon Highland Gathering and the ANZAC Day Parade in Sydney as well as ANZAC commemoration services at Kirribilli and Hornsby.

Among our yearly engagements are the Kenthurst Orange Blossom Parade and the Crowle Foundation Fete at Ryde, Relay for Life at Hornsby and the Epping Rangers Soccer Club presentation day.

We have also had a weekends away in the Manning Valley where we performed at the Bonnie Wingham Weekend.  and some of our members attended Pipefest 2008 in Japan.

We also combine with Singleton on Hunter Pipes and Drums for events such as the Aberdeen Highland Games and Toukley Annual Gathering of the Clans.

In 2008 we formed a combined Band - Waratah and Thistle Pipes and Drums which had members of Hornsby, Singleton, Wingham, Canobolas and Scone bands for a trip to Scotland. This was combined sightseeing tour and also a chance to play at various venues including Duart Castle, Stirling Castle, Cullodon, Nethy Bridge Highland Games ( Link - Nethy Bridge massed bands 2008 video).
