With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, the band was super-energized to get out and about piping and drumming across Tulsa and Green Country.

The Tulsa Metro Pipe Band had a wonderful time at Tulsa’s 62nd annual Robert Burns Supper (January 20, 2018). We thank our friends at the Scottish Club of Tulsa and ScotFest for inviting us to participate at this terrific event!
We’re not going to lie – this was hard work, but completely worthwhile. The lovely Lady Nora did the bulk of the heavy lifting – culinarily speaking.

Together with our friends the Tulsa Roustabouts, on March 25, 2017, we again showed our fierce Tulsa Spirit by taking part in the annual March to the Match.
