St Andrew’s is a grade two pipe band based in Brisbane, Australia.  It was formed from members of the 61^st Battalion, Queensland Cameron Highlanders at the end of the Second World War in 1945. The Battalion had strong Scottish connections and the band was formed for the purpose of maintaining Scottish Culture and camaraderie amongst the Ex-Servicemen.

Within a few years of formation the band won the Australian Pipe Band Championships and since then has successfully competed in many major competitions, both locally and abroad. The Band is also a regular participant in major community events, such as Anzac Day, Tartan Day, the RNA Show and the Ipswich International Tattoo.

Today St Andrew’s is a successful competition band with around 40 playing members. The band continues to compete and perform regularly, fostering traditional Scottish cultural in the Brisbane region.
