About the Band

The band was started in 1990 by Pipe Major Bob Dunsmore.

The band is an important and vibrant part of the Aurora community. We participate in parades, memorial services, and a variety of events in and around the Aurora area and represent the Town of Aurora at Highland Games and festivals throughout Ontario.

We practice at the Royal Canadian Legion in Aurora at 105 Industrial Parkway North every Thursday evening. Lessons start at 6:30. Practice runs from 7:00 to 9:00pm.

Purpose and Goals

The White Heather Pipes & Drums provides an opportunity for people in Aurora and the surrounding area to play the bagpipes and drums in a fun group setting. We also act as ambassadors of goodwill for Aurora Legion.

Our objective is to perform publicly ten to fifteen times a year, including band concerts performed at the Aurora Legion. We constantly strive to increase our skills and quality of playing while accommodating new learners.
