The St. Thomas' Episcopal School Pipe Band is a part of the music program of St. Thomas' Episcopal School, a K-12 independent school in the Houston, Texas, United States area. Founded in the early 1960s, the school has A, B and C pipe bands, not unlike other high school and college marching bands. The band won its first Juvenile category World Championship in 1985 and its second in 1995. They have since competed in the World Championships periodically, winning in 1998, 2004 and 2006. In competitions outside the Juvenile category, the band will compete in Grade 2 or 3.
