Founded in 2003 to promote Celtic music and fun, the Quaboag Highlanders continue
to grow, teach, perform, and have a great deal of fun. The Quaboag Highlanders is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the performance
and promotion of Celtic music. Our band's instruments includes Bagpipes and Scottish
Drumming.
Our band consists of people from all walks of life with ages ranging from 8 to 80.
Our primary focus has always been the music but over the years the social aspect
has also become very important. We are a family band who not only enjoys playing
music together but also enjoys playing. Whether it's bowling, pool volleyball, attending
concerts, or a simple cook out, we enjoy the benefits of a large, extended family.
They are free to learn at their own pace with no pressure to perform.
We participate in many community events in our area and beyond. We do not charge a fee for charitable or Veterans events. You may see us marching in the BIG parades but you'll also find us at cancer benefits, memorial ceremonies, or other special activities.
In three words, what we are about is MUSIC, FRIENDSHIP, and FAMILY.
