Denny and Dunipace Pipe Band are a competing band based in Denny, near Falkirk, Scotland.
The organisation has two bands; the "big band" in grade 2, and another in 4B.
Established in 1964 from a BB band background by Captain John Deuchar, the band has moved through the grades during its history, reaching the pinnacle of Grade 1 in 1989.
The grade 3A band recently took first place in the 2006 World Pipe Band Championships at Glasgow Green, and won the annual Champion of Champions for 3A.
The band has a strong teaching ethos, and has used this method of filtering players through the ranks for over 40 years.
The band is currently led by P/M Mark Sutherland and D/S Stuart Paterson.
