| Our History at 50 Years! |
The Moslem Shrine Highlanders was chartered in the fall of 1959 as a "Scottish Pipe
Band." The band was organized by Scotty Wood and initially met and practiced at his
restaurant on Livernois in Detroit. Scotty was able to bring a group together who
could provide the necessary instruction and dedication to get a band on the streets in a
remarkably short period of time.
The original tartan chosen was the Ancient MacMillan because of the similarity of the
colors adopted by the Shrine.
No prior musical experience is required, nor is Celtic ancestry a necessity. The band
will teach you the instrument of your choice, but it is up to you to invest the time and
effort. Our probationary period tends to be a little more extensive than some of the
other units, but members who continue to advance in proficiency are put in the flag
corp to get time on the street prior to taking the qualification tests.
