Brief History	The Clan MacLeod Pipe Band was formed in 1953 and is one of only a few bands with a direct association with a Clan. The Band is under the direction of Chief John MacLeod of MacLeod who is the Chief of all MacLeods. The Band wears the MacLeod of Lewis tartan. The Band plays at many functions throughout Victoria and N.S.W. and in 2003 played in Christchurch, New Zealand for the World Gathering of the Clan MacLeod. The Band is available for bookings such as School Fairs and Gala Parades. The Band is very family oriented with a number of father/son combinations playing. Our members range in ages from eleven years to seventy -five years old.
