Fergus Pipe Band

edit this listing
Founded in 1927, the Fergus Pipe Band has a long and proud history. In the formative years, J.W. (Jack) MacDonald served as a piping instructor and acting pipe major, and J.W. Henderson Sr. was drumming instructor. In 1930, Thos. Patterson, formerly with the Guelph Pipe Band, assumed the position of pipe major. Thos. MacDonald, and experienced drummer with highland regiments and a World War 1 veteran, took over the duties of drumming instructor. As the band grew, funds were needed for the purchase of uniforms as the band paraded in 'civies'. Two founding members had served with the Seaforth Highlanders in the first World War and it was agreed to adopt the MacKenzie tartan that was worn by the Seaforth Highlanders. The band continues to wear the tartan today.
