The Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band was a competitive grade 1 pipe band based out of Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
History[]
The group was originally established in Edmonton in 1982, as the Grade 1 Edmonton Caledonia Pipe Band. The band's name was changed in the mid 1990s, after it received a large influx of players from Calgary. The band recorded 2 CDs, "They Took Their Leave" in 1998 and "Another Round" in 2005.[1]
In 2013 key members of the pipe section leave to pursue their careers elsewhere and the band decided to fold as it was not able to field a competition band at the Grade 1 level.
The Edmonton group of players came back together in 2015 to start the new Grade 2 local band North Stratton Pipe Band. The Calgary players came together after the fold of the band and joined the Grade 2 Rocky Mountain Pipe Band.
