After a very successful competition run in 2011, the Grade 4 band moved up to Grade 3 for 2012. The Pipe Major is Ryan Murray, assisted by Pipe Sergeant and Music Director Liz Tubbs and Drum Sergeant Jane McPherson. 

Last year's Grade 5 band also moved up to Grade 4, with Pipe Major Bill Tubbs, and Pipe Sergeant Chris Amato.

Band founder (with the late Clutch Sutton) Liz Tubbs started the City of Sacramento Pipe Band in 1989. The combined bands number over 30 playing members.

Children and adults are welcome to become a part of this non-profit educational group. Piping and drumming instruction is available privately at a nominal cost to Band members and beginners. Although the Band's main focus is competing in Scottish games and events, it performs throughout Northern California for many different functions and organizational events. As a 501(3)(c) Non-profit Organization, the Band relies solely on donations, and the generous time and commitment from its members and their families.
