The Rampant Lion Pipe Band was formed to promote the music of the Scottish Highland bagpipes and Scottish snare and tenor drumming style in our metropolitan area. The band features the stunning military dress and precision marching style of the great British regiments.
The band has become a popular sought-after parade and musical performance group and has recently finished an undefeated season at Highland Games competitions throughout the east coast this past summer 2012.

Well attended tuition free bagpipe, drumming and marching lessons are attended at weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 8pm at the Calvary Episcopal Church in Summit, New Jersey.
Founder and Pipe Major of the band David Gerald Palladino-Sinclair comments that “our band is successful because we have so many dedicated individuals who are not only committed to achieving their personal best on their musical instrument, but who also have a tremendous respect for, and interest in Scottish culture.”
He further goes on to say that “one of the great strengths in the fabric of our band is that we are indeed made of a strongly woven tartan: we are a family-oriented band and we have many young people who participate along with their parents - our membership is diverse in age and background, and we all come together for one shared purpose.”
