John Ford Highland Pipe Band

Welcome to the John Ford Highland Pipe Band Website!

We are a private, not-for-profit, musical and social group of men and women dedicated to the art of piping and drumming, as well as the maintaining of the Gaelic Heritage. We were founded in 1969 by Pipe Major Bill Sandbach, and continue to enjoy providing the Saint Louis region with a premier pipes and drum band. A project of our mission is the ongoing support of local charities. Further afield we traveled to New York as part of the "Tunes of Glory" parade and Washington D.C.

We thank the American Legion for it's many years of loyal support to this band. It is with great pride that we march behind "The Colors."
