House of Scotland Pipe Band
House of Scotland Pipe Band (HOSPB) has called Balboa Park, San Diego home for more than 50 years. Under the leadership of Pipe Major Jeff Hahn and Drum Sergeant Cooper Magill, House of Scotland Pipe Band performs throughout San Diego and the western United States, taking part in parades, festivals, and many other celebrations.
As a member of the Western United States Pipe Band Association, HOSPB also fields two competitive bands at the Grade III and V level in many competitions throughout the west coast. Every few years the band travels internationally; they recently returned from Canada where they won 1st place at the 2017 Montreal Highland Games. In 2020 the band will travel to compete and perform at the New Zealand Pipe Band Championships.
The band is available for hire all throughout Southern California. Any combination of single piper, piper and drummer, mini band, and full band can be arranged. The band is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all-volunteer organization. For more information, see the band's website. Also feel free to contact Pipe Major Jeff Hahn at 760-908-5590.
