The sections
Twenty-five players divide into four sections, all of whom rehearse together twice a week through the season. Monday evenings are given over to march tunes and Wednesday evenings to performance and slow air tunes.
The Pipe Corps
Fifteen pipers, counting the Pipe Major and Pipe Sergeant. Marches, strathspeys, reels and jigs, plus slow airs and laments for memorials and graveside services.
Snare Drums
Four snare drummers under the Drum Sergeant, setting the rhythm for the rest of the corps.
Tenor Drums
Four tenor drummers giving the beat its shape and motion, and the flourishing seen on parade.
Bass Drums
Two bass drummers keeping the band in step at ninety paces to the minute.
