Welcome to the Home of the Pikes Peak Highlanders Pipes & Drums, Inc. Our Pipe and Drum organization was founded in 1985 by Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Major Bob Tracy. The band has enjoyed a long and successful journey as a competition and performance pipe band and has provided the sounds of Great Highland Bagpipes & Scottish Drums to the front range for 25 yrs.
The pipers wear the Prince Charles Edward Stewart tartan (which is the background of this web page) with black doublets, the drummers wear the legendary tartan of the 1st BN Black Watch with red doublets, cords and feather bonnets. The color guard wears the Prince Charles Edward Stewart tartan with red doublets and feather bonnets.
We invite you to become a part of our family. Feel free to browse the site. Enjoy your stay! Please contact us if you have any questions! Our Pipe Major is Shelley Wheelon. Our Drum Sergeant is Mike Bourda.

A special thanks to all the soloist who have been supporting our local Bases and Posts during Memorials services to the fallen heros who have given the ultimate sacrifice to their country.
A Sad Farewell - The band said good-by to two of its members this week. Jeff and Krista Litchfield are moving to Tacoma, WA. Both Jeff and Krista served the band faithfully for the past several years and will be sorely missed. Good luck in Washington!
