Welcome to the Clear Lake Pipe Band website. CLPB was established in December of 2006 under the direction of Pipe Major Brian Berlin and Instructor Bill “Robbie” Robertson (1941 – 2007). From the beginning, the focus of the band was on making the music of the bagpipes accessible to as many people who wanted to learn as possible. We encourage students to grow into top-notch musicians while never losing sight on the fact that playing a musical instrument should be fun and enjoyable (for the musician as well as the audience).
If you are interested in joining the band (either as an experienced musician or as a student), please contact us. We offer free bagpipe and drum lessons to those who will commit to play with the band. Prior musical training is helpful but not necessary. Initial expenses are minimal.
