TURLACH UR PIPE BAND
Not every community arts organization in the Midwest can boast of supporting a Scottish bagpipe band, but this is Grinnell! Founded in 2007, Turlach Ur is the largest pipe band in Iowa.
Turlach Ur Pipe Band is both a competition and concert band. Turlach Ur has competed very successfully in Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Midwest, as well as at the 2016 World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. The band’s junior players sometimes perform on their own as the Turlach Urchins. Turlach Ur performs concerts regularly both in Grinnell and beyond.
Contact Rob Clower, the band's Pipe Major, or visit their website or Facebook page to inquire about lessons or to get involved!
