Denny and Dunipace Pipe Band is a Grade Two pipe band based in Denny, near Falkirk, Scotland. The organization contains two bands, the 'big band' in grade 2, and another in 4B.
Established in 1964 from a Boys Brigade (BB) band background by Captain John Deuchar, the band has moved through the grades, reaching the pinnacle of Grade 1 in 1989. The grade 3A band took first place in the 2006 World Pipe Band Championships at Glasgow Green, and won the annual Champion of Champions for 3A. This resulted in promotion to Grade 2 for 2007. The grade 4B band completed its second full competing season by taking 5th place at the Cowal Highland Gathering.
The band has a strong teaching ethos, and has used this method of filtering players through the ranks for over 40 years. It is led by pipe major Mark Sutherland and drum sergeant Stuart Paterson.
