Scot Pipers

Pipers

The Scot Pipe Band is probably the most nationally-recognized symbol of Wooster.

Since the early days of the Scot Band, which performed for the first time in 1940, there were pipers, but it was not until 1962 that there was a serious attempt to organize and train a pipe band with dancers. The band has traditionally appeared at home football games and at some away games. The sight of the Scot Pipers as they march "over the hill" into the football stadium is one that alumni rank among their fondest memories of Wooster.

In addition to their popular performances with the Scot Marching Band at football games, the Pipers perform at fairs, dinners, parties, and churches during the school year. On campus, their appearances are not limited to the football field. They often lead the basketball teams onto the floor, and more recently, they escort the graduation class into the Oak Grove at the start of Commencement ceremonies.
