Heed the Call

Our Story

Siren City Pipe Band is the premier pipe band of Virginia, taking root in Norfolk and building ties between our local community and the international bagpipe scene.

Drawing from poetic tradition and local folklore, the legend of the Siren lives in our name. We celebrate the region’s distinct nautical heritage while adding to its musical and cultural allure.

Siren City Pipe Band wears the Duncan Ancient Tartan, distinctive for the seafoam green like that found on the Chesapeake Bay, and an accent of orange reminiscent of a glimmering sunset. The Duncan clan crest features a full rig ship, and is adorned with a motto that reflects our work ethic, and when translated, is “learn to suffer.”

Continuing Objective

Siren City Pipe Band will continue to set the standard for bagpipe music in Hampton Roads by fielding a band at the highest level possible. Members invest in the band’s future with a formal development program, of which we invite all determined community members to take part in. We offer an organization that represents Norfolk on a global scale while also performing locally for the community.
