North Ryde RSL Pipe Band
In 2000 the Epping and District Scottish Society Pipe Band commenced an enduring association with the Castle Hill RSL Club and became the Castle Hill RSL Pipe Band. The band is supported by the Castle Hill RSL Club in its endeavours to provide a safe and healthy form of recreation for both young and older people in the community.
North Ryde RSL Pipe Band is an integral part of Anzac Day ceremonies on Anzac Day. The band parades every Anzac Day in support of all service personnel from all conflicts in which Australia has been engaged.
In addition, the Band performs at weddings, birthday parties, street marches and festivals.
Active in the piping and drumming community
A large amount of our members are involved in running events across NSW, either as organises, helpers or contest supervisors. Several members hold positions on association councils at state and national level.

Development Band
Several senior players in the band teach and run a development band at James Ruse Agricultural High School. This was an initiative created from scratch by our PM Nick.T.
