Playing the bagpipes or drums is a rewarding, yet challenging hobby.  The band is made up of a pipe corps (bagpipers), Drum corps (snare drummers, tenor drummers, bass drummer) and a Drum Major (leads the band in parades and street marches).  Many of our members have learnt to play from previous and current members of Ipswich Thistle.  Visit our "Learn bagpipes and drums" page for information about learning to play.
