Since 2019 have expanded from selling in Ireland and the UK and we now offer free worldwide shipping.With a name like Marcus Tardif of Dunedin, you can't help but conjure visions of kilts and bagpipes. In this case (should there be another Marcus Tardif of Dunedin) you'd be correct. Patch: Can you give me a quick introduction to the leaders of the Dunedin Pipe Band? We recently caught up with Marcus, who together with an intensely dedicated group of people, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dunedin Pipe Band this year. P: How did you get started with the band? Marcus: The Dunedin Pipe Band is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity that is governed by our Executive Committee: Iain Donaldson, Pipe Major and Dunedin’s Scottish Programs Director Mark Deal, president Gary Smith, vice president Carl Doyle, treasurer Susan Elftman, secretary Jamie Everett and Dan Eaton, members-at-large and me, the band manager. M: As with most of us ‘kids’ who grew up in Dunedin, I learned through the school system and eventually moved into the adult band, which is the Dunedin Pipe Band. When I was coming up through Dunedin schools, bagpipes were taught at the middle and high schools. I always thought it was the coolest instrument. But for those that have listened to good bagpiping, it can give you the chills and be very inspirational.Īll of my friends at the time were playing, and I really wanted to be a part of that experience.īagpipes can make the most annoying, awful, terrible noises with inexperience. As my dad Pete Tardif pointed out just the other day when he came in our shop, Lothian Kilt Rentals & Bagpipe Supplies, his favorite tune of all time is Highland Cathedral, and every time it’s played, he gets goosebumps. P: What instrument do you play? Pipes or drums? Iain Donaldson, the current Director of Scottish Programs for Dunedin, is now teaching bagpipes in five local elementary schools, in addition to the high school, middle school, and adult programs. M: I’ve been playing pipes for just about 20 years now. I am currently the Pipe Sergeant in our Grade 3 band and the pipe instructor for our Grade 4 band. I competed with the snare drum a few years back for the couple of seasons. P: Is there anything special happening for the 50th? It gave me an entirely different perspective that ultimately made me a better piper. It’s rare to find a pipe band lasting more than 15–20 years, but our founders, and all of the program directors and band leaders throughout the years, have done a wonderful job keeping our organization focused, strong, and competitive.

To commemorate 50 amazing years, the band launched the all-new. This new site allows us to more easily share photos, videos, news posts, and upcoming DPB events with everyone. The band is also having a 50th anniversary uniform makeover.

Pipe Major Iain Donaldson designed a brand new tartan based on our prior Elliot tartan that brightens it up quite a bit. The new kilts will still be the blue that everyone has come to love, but it will be a much brighter, modern version of the tartan. We’ll be releasing the name of the new tartan and showing it off for the first time at the Dunedin Highland Games on April 5. The band will also have all new DPB custom sporrans, cap badges, and other uniform accessories.
