PERTH AND DISTRICT PIPE BAND
NOVICE JUVENILE BAND
The Novice Juvenile Band came into existence in June 2009 as RSPBA band number 989.
The Novice Juvenile Band is a competitive forum for our younger players up to the age of 18.
However, it is possible for players of this age to be chosen to compete in the adult band instead.
The band is currently lead by Pipe Major Alistair Duthie. Fergus Allan is the drumming instructor.

The Novice Juvenile Band spends time practising as a group and also as part of the whole Perth and District band.
For events other than competitions the younger players and adults normally play together.

The band’s first competitive event was at Perth Highland games in August 2009. Other than the pipe major every member that day was competing for the very first time.
