We have to be careful about not including our drummers. They're sensitive about stuff like that 
Yes we usually call them "pipe bands" which at least potentially includes the drummers.
More inclusive, but longer to say, is "pipes & drums" (the official title of many bands).
Better yet, from the drummers' perspective, is "drums & pipes"

Of course Sir. Roger that. After all where would we be without our fabulous drummers.

Won in 2016 by Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band from Northern Ireland. Good luck to them and all the bands in this year's competition.

The pipe band world is anxious to see where SFU place at the Worlds this year, after their shocking result from the British Championships, their lowest-ever placing in a "major".
And to continue to be amazed by the meteoric rise of Inveraray.
Result from the British Championships, held in May (2017)
Grade 1 (MSR, 16 competed)
1st Inveraray & District (Scotland) (2,1,2,2)
2nd Field Marshal Montgomery (Northern Ireland) (1,3,3,1)
3rd Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia (Scotland) (4,2,7,3)
4th St. Laurence O’Toole (Eire) (5,6,1,5)
5th Police Scotland Fife (Scotland) (3,4,12,4)
6th Scottish Power (Scotland) (6,7,4,7)
The two North American entries were
Triumph Street 8th
SFU 12th
We're used to seeing FFM, SFU, Shotts, SLOT, and Glasgow Police in the top places. Things have evidently changed.
