The Stuart Highlanders field two competition bands - one in grade 2, one in grade 4 of the EUSPBA. (Eastern United States Pipe Band Association)

The Stuart Highlanders Grade 2 Band is led by Pipe Major Adam Holdaway, Pipe Sergeant Kevin Wisehart and Drum Sergeant Scott Armit. The band is coming off its most successful competition season in grade 3 in 2009, winning second place at Maxville, first place in every US based contest,  and sweeping every event of the 2009 Bethlehem Celtic Classic. At the conclusion of the 2009 season, the band was upgraded to Grade 2.

The Stuart Highlanders Grade 4 Band is led by Pipe Major Matt Phelps, Pipe Sergeant Paul Kissman, and Drum Sergeant John Whittaker.   In 2009, the Grade 4 band improved on it's 2008 performance, consistently getting in the prize lists for the majority of games.  The Grade 4 band is not only a serious musical endeavor but it also is  very active in training new musicians, fund raising, and recruiting.

Stuart Highlanders of both grades welcome pipers and drummers to audition for the band. We are a competition and performance band with an active schedule; this year the band played  9 parades, 6 piping contests and a concert. Contact us through this site or come to a practice to find out more.
