Since its inception in 1982, The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band has been an international leader in piping and drumming, boldly presenting always fresh music drawn from the deep well of the traditional music of the Celtic countries - and Canada. The band is a energetic force that promotes the continuous improvement of musical skill - set through teaching, concert performances and professional competitions. The band travels to Glasgow, Scotland every year to compete on the international stage at the most advanced level (Grade 1) in the World Pipe Band Championships. The 78th holds 14 Canadian Championship titles, 15 North American Championships titles, a ranking position as one of the top 12 bands in the world 20+ times, as well as a very prestigious and historic title: that of being the first non-Scottish pipe band to win the World Pipe Band Championships in Grade 1 (1987). The 78th had performed for packed halls in various parts of Canada, the United States, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
The band is led by Pipe Major Michael Grey, Pipe Sergeant Ian K MacDonald, and Drum Sergeant Drew Duthart.
