The Pipes & Drums of St. Andrew, is a civilian pipe band based in Parkersburg, WV. The band is currently under the direction of Drum Major Curt Mitchell and Pipe Major Carl Henson. The band members come from Eastern and North Central WV and Southeast Ohio, and range in age from teens to over 70. The members have many diverse backgrounds but are brought together by their love of Scottish culture and music. 



The band formed in 1997 by Pipe Major "Seamus" McFadden, and was under the long time direction of Pipe Major Joe Quick. In honor of Pipe Major Quick, the band wears the Ferguson clan tartan.  The band performs at numerous parades and festivals each year in West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. Their honors include awards from parade performances as well as being the host band for the Scottish Festival and Celtic Gathering in Bridgeport, WV since its inception. Individual members of the band perform solos at weddings, funerals, church services and other special occasions as well school educational programs.


The band is currently recruiting pipers/pipe students, drummers/drum students and color party members. If you are interested in joining the band, or in attending a weekly rehearsal in Parkersburg, please send us a message from our Contact page.
