Who we are

MacMillan United is an organization which strives to promote, grow, and maintain pipe band excellence in the United States. The organization started with MacMillan Pipe Band, founded in 2001, after a reunion of alumni from previous local high school pipe bands. Since then, MacMillan has continued to grow becoming MacMillan United Pipe Bands with the additions of two more bands, MacMillan-Birtles in 2004 and MacMillan-Dunn 2012.

Each band and its members work hard throughout the year to perfect the art of piping and drumming in preparations for competition season. Currently, MacMillan Pipe Band competes in the Grade 2 circuit, traveling to Canada and Scotland for competition. MacMillan-Birtles is a strong Grade 3 band having competed in both Scotland and Canada as well. MacMillan-Dunn has recently been upgraded to the Grade 4 circuit and is competing consistently in the United States.
