About the Band

Pretoria Boys High School Pipe Band is based at Pretoria Boys High School in Gauteng, South Africa. The school was founded in 1901, and the pipe band has been part of its wider music and cultural tradition since at least the early 1970s, with one former member referring to himself as a founding member of the Pipe Band in 1971.

The band gives pupils the opportunity to learn Highland piping and drumming, perform at school and public events, and compete in the South African pipe band scene. It has become a visible part of school life, appearing at Highland gatherings and major school occasions.

In 2025, Pretoria Boys High School Pipe Band won the Novice Juvenile South African Champion title at the South African Pipe Band Championships, marking an important recent success for the programme.

Today, the band continues to develop young pipers and drummers while representing Pretoria Boys High School through performance, competition and tradition.
