About Us

 
The Celtic Flame Pipe Band is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the Scottish cultural arts through musical performance and competition.

Celtic Flame is a small but dedicated group of bagpipers and drummers, made up of musicians of all ages from Northeast Ohio. The band continues to work hard and grow as a successful competition pipe band and enjoys playing music together.

Founded in the Fall of 1999 by former members of the Crag Dhe Cead and MacCallum Highlanders pipe bands and students of Pipe Major Marilyn Lloyd, Celtic Flame was a colorful sight in their first year (as members wore an assortment of tartans from various clans and former bands as they saved for band kilts.)
The band later invested in musical instruments and uniforms (purchasing Buchanan tartan kilts) and added several new members in their second year. Soon, the band began to perform at several events throughout their Northeastern Ohio area, while working diligently to improve as an ensemble.

Under the direction of Pipe Major Marilyn Lloyd, Pipe Sergeant Tom Mason, and Drum Instructor Dominic Tancredi, the band continues to expand their repertoire and entered the competition circuit in Grade 5 in 2005.
