A legacy of sound and service
Formed in 1999, Amberley Pipes & Drums embodies the enduring spirit of Highland tradition within the heart of the Royal Australian Air Force community. Based at RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland, our band was established to foster harmony, discipline, and morale among service personnel, veterans, and the wider community.
Through the stirring sound of the great Highland bagpipes and drums, our members proudly uphold a musical legacy that strengthens connection, inspires ceremonial excellence, and honours those who serve. We are a volunteer pipe band dedicated to our craft and our community.
