Band History
The Communn Na Fienne association was formed in the late 1870's and is the original Scottish Highland community in the Geelong area. The name is literally Community of Friends or Friendly Society. Records tracing back to the formation of Comunn Na Feinne Pipe Band originated in 1907. Then in 1935 the name Geelong Highland Pipe Band was adopted.
Currently performing all over Victoria, based in Geelong, The Geelong Highland Pipe Band is one of the oldest bands in Victoria.
Over the years the band has competed in virtually all venues in the state and at several interstate locations. At present the band does not compete but sets out to entertain the public with highland dress turnout and a wide repertoire of music.
