The Regina Police Pipe Band!? That's so cool! What's the tartan? I'm not part of the band. The band was actually a resurrected band disbanded in 2003 and resurrected in 2023. The founder and PM was David Clyde. At the time he just been diagnosed with Parkinson's and had to step down. Since the rest of the band was young adults, life caught up with them and they couldn't come to practices like before. That's when the band disbanded.

Now that those life challenges are over, the band is back! The tartan is the Caledonia Ancient Heavyweight Tartan Fabric from Lochcarron pleated to the double strip on blue. David Clyde just created his own personal tartan just before his diagnoses. He authorized the band to use his tartan! They just finished making the new kilts and it should arrive any day now.

So if you know of any bands looking for a new tartan or kilts then hit me or the band up!(they will only take bulk orders)
