Musical Director: Harrison Allen; An accomplished solo and band piper, Harrison is a leading example of the mentoring system: having started as a young lad in Grade 4 and progressed up thru the grades to Grade 1 before accepting the position to lead Grade 3.
The Canterbury Caledonian Society has several activity groups under its guardianship. The Grade 3 Pipe Band is one of 3 of the bands under that umbrella.
The Grade 3 band is made up of a group of young enthusiastic members with a few old heads thrown in to keep the balance. They are 100% home grown, all from within the Canterbury region. They actively take part in the mentoring both drummer and pipers from the Grade 4 and Juvenile to improve their skill levels in order to move up through the bands and to help them reach their potential.
