The Knoxville Pipes and Drums plays a number of events.

Along with donations from sponsoring organizations, these appearances help the band provide free piping and drumming lessons and purchase kilts, drums, chanters, reeds, and other band equipment. The band practices every Monday evening at Knoxville's Scottish Rite Temple at the corner of 16th Street and White Avenue near the University of Tennessee campus. Contact John Rose, Band Manager, to arrange for the band at your event.
