| The Band The Camarillo-based Gold Coast Pipe Band is a competitive Grade 4 band that was formed in 1999 by a group of award winning pipers for the purpose of becoming a premier performance band in the Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles areas. The band has appeared at numerous weddings - most notably the wedding of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James in Santa Barbara - commencements, St. Patrick's Day celebrations, birthday and anniversary parties, golf tournaments, military, fire and police department functions as well as funerals, parades, fundraisers, car shows and civic affairs. The band recently surprised "Cheers" star John Ratzenberger on his 60th birthday. It's members have appeared on TV, radio and movie soundtracks. The Gold Coast Pipe Band proudly wears the Wallace tartan to all of its events! Music selections the band has played over the years incorporate many old-time favorites such as 'Amazing Grace' and 'Scotland the Brave' as well as new tunes that create memorable performances. We can customize the band for any event from a single piper and drummer to a six piece miniband or the entire pipe band! We can even provide award winning Irish dancers for that very special occasion. Contact us today to book your event.
